To isolate the x term and maintain the equation's balance, first subtract 3.2 from each side of the equation:
3.2 + x 2.5 - 3.2 = 4.6 - 3.2
3.2 - 3.2 + x 2.5 = 1.4
0 + x 2.5 = 1.4
x 2.5 = 1.4
Now, multiply each side of the equation by 2.5 to solve for x while keeping the equation balanced:
2.5 × x 2.5 = 2.5 × 1.4
2.5 × x 2.5 = 2.5 × 1.4
x = 3.5
We calculate to make sure the left side of the equation equals the right side of the equation by substituting 3.5 for x in the left side of the equation:
3.2 + x 2.5 = 4.6 becomes:
3.2 + 3.5 2.5 = 4.6
3.2 + 1.4 = 4.6
4.6 = 4.6
Because both sides of the equation are equal x = 1.4 is a valid solution.
