All i want for Christmas is my 2 front tooth ( I had an twist of destiny years in the past and the front have porcelin caps that should be replaced in approximately 2 months while i will have saved adequate money to interchange them!)
1.00 + X=1.75 - 1.75X (Start with the equation)
X=1.75 - 1.75X - 1.00 (Transpose 1.00 to the right side)
1.75X + X = 1.75 - 1.00 (Transpose 1.75 to the right side)
2.75X = 0.75 (Simplify the equation)
X = 0.75 / 2.75 (Divide 2.75 to both sides to isolate X)
X = 0.27272727272727...
OR
X = 3 / 11
1.00+x=1.75-1.75x
1.00 + x +1.75x = 1.75 - 1.75x + 1.75x (add 1.75x to both sides)
1.00 +2.75x = 1.75
1.00 - 1.00 +2.75x = 1.75 - 1.00 (subtract 1.00 from both sides)
2.75x = 0.75
2.75x/2.75 = 0.75/2.75 (divide both sides by 2.75)
x = .27 repeating (or, the fraction 3/11 is a nicer and better answer)
are both the Xs the same variable? if they are...then
isolate x's on one side and isolate the numbers on the other
then divide both sides by the x coefficient
and you find what x is equal to
Subtract both sides by 1.00
1.00-1.00+x=1.75-1.00-1.75x
Substitute
1x=0.75-1.75x
Add both sides by 1.75x
1x+1.75x=0.75-1.75x+1.75x
Substitute
2.75x=0.75
Divide both sides by 2.75
2.75x/2.75=0.75/2.75
Solve for x
x= 0.272
