Hey!
-----------------------------------------------
Steps To Solve:
4.6(x - 3) = -0.4x + 16.2
~Distributive property
4.6x - 13.8 = -0.4x + 16.2
~Add 0.4 to both sides
4.6x - 13.8 + 0.4= -0.4x + 16.2 + 0.4
~Simplify
5x - 13.8 = 16.2
~Add 13.8 to both sides
5x - 13.8 + 13.8 = 16.2 + 13.8
~Simplify
5x = 30
Divide 5 to both sides
5x/5 = 30/5
~Simplify
x = 6
