QuestionWhat is the first step to solve $4x - 0.2 = 1.9$ for $x$ ? Choose the correct option.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The equation to be solved is $4x -0. =1.9$ . We are solving for $x$
3. The first step should isolate the term with $x$ on one side of the equation

STEP 2

The first step in solving the equation is to isolate the term with $x$ on one side of the equation. To do this, we need to eliminate the constant term on the left side of the equation.

STEP 3

To eliminate the constant term, we can add0.2 to both sides of the equation. This will cancel out the -0.2 on the left side and leave us with $x$ on the left side of the equation.
$x -0.2 +0.2 =1.9 +0.2$

STEP 4

implify the equation.
$4x =1.9 +0.2$ So, the correct answer is "Add0.2 to both sides of the equation."
