Solve the equation 24 + 0.44x = 19 + 1.69x.

A. x = 4

B. x = 0.44

C. x = 5

D. x = 5.4

Answer: A. x + 4

Step-by-step explanation: Simplifying

24 + 0.44x = 19 + 1.69x

Solving

24 + 0.44x = 19 + 1.69x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-1.69x' to each side of the equation.

24 + 0.44x + - 1.69x = 19 + 1.69x + - 1.69x

Combine like terms: 0.44x + - 1.69x = - 1.25x

24 + - 1.25x = 19 + 1.69x + - 1.69x

Combine like terms: 1.69x + - 1.69x = 0.00

24 + - 1.25x = 19 + 0.00

24 + - 1.25x = 19

Add '-24' to each side of the equation.

24 + - 24 + - 1.25x = 19 + - 24

Combine like terms: 24 + - 24 = 0

0 + - 1.25x = 19 + - 24

-1.25x = 19 + - 24

Combine like terms: 19 + - 24 = - 5

-1.25x = - 5

Divide each side by '-1.25'.

x = 4

24+0.44x=19+1.69x

0.44x-1.69x=19-24

-1.25x = - 5

x = - 5/-1.25

x=4
