# 5.7: Equations with Decimals


We can add or subtract the same decimal number from both sides of an equation without affecting the solution.

Example 1

Solve for x: x − 1.35 = −2.6.

Solution

To undo subtracting 1.35, add 1.35 to both sides of the equation.

\begin{aligned} x - 1.35 = -2.6 ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Original equation.}} \\ x - 1.35 + 1.35 = -2.6 + 1.35 ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Add 1.35 to both sides.}} \\ x = -1.25 ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Simplify: } -2.6 + 1.35 = -1.25.} \end{aligned}\nonumber

Exercise

Solve for x: $$x+1.25=0.6$$

−0.65

We can still multiply both sides of an equation by the same decimal number without affecting the solution.

Example 2

Solve for x: $$\frac{x}{-0.35} = 4.2$$.

Solution

To undo dividing by −0.35, multiply both sides of the equation by −0.35.

\begin{aligned} \frac{x}{-0.35} = 4.2 ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Original equation.}} \\ -0.35 \left( \frac{x}{-0.35} \right) = -0.35 (4.2) ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Multiply both sides by } -0.35.} \\ x = -1.470 ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Simplify: } -0.35 (4.2) = -1.470.} \end{aligned}\nonumber

Exercise

Solve for y: $$\frac{y}{0.37} = -1.52$$.

−0.5624

We can still divide both sides of an equation by the same decimal number without affecting the solution.

Example 3

Solve for x: $$−1.2x = −4.08$$.

Solution

To undo multiplying by −1.2, divide both sides of the equation by −1.2.

\begin{aligned} -1.2x = -4.08 ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Original equation.}} \\ \frac{-1.2x}{-1.2} = \frac{-4.08}{-1.2} ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Divide both sides by } -1.2} \\ x = 3.4 ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Simplify: } -4.08/(-1.2)=3.4.} \end{aligned}\nonumber

Exercise

Solve for z: $$-2.5z=1.4$$

−0.56

## Combining Operations

We sometimes need to combine operations.

Example 4

Solve for x: $$−3.8x − 1.7 = −17.28$$.

Solution

To undo subtracting 1.7, add 1.7 to both sides of the equation.

\begin{aligned} -3.8x-1.7=-17.28 ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Original equation.}} \\ -3.8x-1.7+1.7=-17.28+1.7 ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Add 1.7 to both sides.}} \\ -3.8x=-15.58 ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Simplify: } -17.28 + 1.7 = -15.58.} \end{aligned}\nonumber

Next, to undo multiplying by −3.8, divide both sides of the equation by −3.8.

\begin{aligned} \frac{-3.8x}{-3.8} = \frac{-15.88}{-3.8} ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Divide both sides by } -3.8.} \\ x = 4.1 ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Simplify: } -15.58/(-3.8) = 4.1.} \end{aligned}\nonumber

Exercise

## Combining Like Terms

Combining like terms with decimal coefficients is done in the same manner as combining like terms with integer coefficients.

Example 5

Simplify the expression: $$−3.2x + 1.16x$$.

Solution

To combine these like terms we must add the coefficients.

To add coefficients with unlike signs, first subtract the coefficient with the smaller magnitude from the coefficient with the larger magnitude.

$\begin{array}{r} 3.20 \\ - 1.16 \\ \hline 2.04 \end{array}\nonumber$

Prefix the sign of the decimal number having the larger magnitude. Hence:

$−3.2+1.16 = −2.04.\nonumber$

We can now combine like terms as follows:

$−3.2x + 1.16x = −2.04x\nonumber$

Exercise

Simplify: $$-1.185t+3.2t$$

2.015t

When solving equations, we sometimes need to combine like terms.

Example 6

Solve the equation for x: $$4.2 − 3.1x + 2x = −7.02$$.

Solution

Combine like terms on the left-hand side of the equation.

\begin{aligned} 4.2-3.1x+2x=-7.02 ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Original equation.}} \\ 4.2 - 1.1x = -7.02 ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Combine like terms: } -3.1x + 2x = -1.1x.} \\ 4.2 - 1.1x - 4.2 = -7.02 - 4.2 ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Subtract 4.2 from both sides.}} \\ -1.1x = -11.02 ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Subtract: } -7.02 - 4.2 = -11.22.} \\ \frac{-1.1x}{-1.1} = \frac{-11.22}{-1.1} ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Divide both sides by } -1.1.} \\ x = 10.2 ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Divide: } -11.22/(-1.1) = 10.2.} \end{aligned}\nonumber

Thus, the solution of the equation is 10.2.

Check

Like all equations, we can check our solution by substituting our answer in the original equation.

\begin{aligned} 4.2 - 3.1x +2x = -7.02 ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Original equation.}} \\ 4.2 - 3.1(10.2) + 2(10.2) = -7.02 ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Substitute 10.2 for } x.} \\ 4.2 - 31.62 + 20.4 = -7.02 ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Multiply: } 3.1(10.2) = 31.62, ~ 2(10.2) = 20.4.} \\ -27.42 + 20.4 = -7.02 ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Order of Ops: Add, left to right.}} \\ ~ & \textcolor{red}{ ~ 4.2 - 31.62 = -27.42.} \\ -7.02 = -7.02 ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Add: } -27.42 + 20.4 = -7.02.} \end{aligned}\nonumber

Because the last line is a true statement, the solution x = 10.2 checks.

Exercise

Solve for r: $$-4.2 + 3.6r - 4.1r = 1.86$$

## Using the Distributive Property

Sometimes we will need to employ the distributive property when solving equations.

Distributive Property

Let a, b, and c be any numbers. Then,

$a(b + c) = ab + ac.\nonumber$

Example 7

Solve the equation for x: $$−6.3x − 0.4(x − 1.2) = −0.86$$.

Solution

We first distribute the −0.4 times each term in the parentheses, then combine like terms.

\begin{aligned} -6.3x - 0.4(x-1.2) = -0.86 ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Original equation.}} \\ -6.3x-0.4x+0.48 = -0.86 ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Distribute. Note that } -0.4(-1.2)=0.48.} \\ -6.7x+0.48=-0.86 ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Combine like terms.}} \end{aligned}\nonumber

Next, subtract 0.48 from both sides, then divide both sides of the resulting equation by −6.7.

\begin{aligned} -6.7x+0.48-0.48 = -0.86 - 0.48 ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Subtract 0.48 from both sides.}} \\ -6.7x = -1.34 ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Simplify: } -0.86 - 0.48 = -1.34.} \\ \frac{-6.7x}{-6.7} = \frac{-1.34}{-6.7} ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Divide both sides by } -6.7.} \\ x = 0.2 ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Simplify: } -1.34/(-6.7)=0.2.} \end{aligned}\nonumber

Exercise

Solve for x: $$−2.5x − 0.1(x − 2.3) = 8.03$$

## Rounding Solutions

Sometimes an approximate solution is adequate.

Example $$\PageIndex{1}$$

Solve the equation $$3.1x+ 4.6=2.5 − 2.2x$$ for x. Round the answer to the nearest tenth.

Solution

We need to isolate the terms containing x on one side of the equation. We begin by adding 2.2x to both sides of the equation.

\begin{aligned} 3.1x + 4.6 = 2.5 - 2.2x ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Original equation.}} \\ 3.1x + 4.6 + 2.2x = 2.5 - 2.2x + 2.2x ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Add } 2.2x \text{ to both sides.}} \\ 5.3x + 4.6 = 2.5 ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Combine terms: } 3.1x + 2.2x = 5.3x.} \end{aligned{\nonumber

We need to isolate the terms containing x on one side of the equation. We begin by adding 2.2x to both sides of the equation.

\begin{aligned} 5.3x + 4.6 - 4.6 = 2.5 - 4.6 ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Subtract 4.6 from both sides.}} \\ 5.3x = -2.1 ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Simplify: } 2.5 - 4.6 = -2.1.} \end{aligned}\nonumber

To undo the effect of multiplying by 5.3, divide both sides of the equation by 5.3.

\begin{aligned} \frac{5.3x}{5.3} = \frac{-2.1}{5.3} ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{Divide both side by 5.3.}} \\ x \approx -0.4 ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Round solution to nearest tenth.}} \end{aligned}\nonumber

To round the answer to the nearest tenth, we must carry the division out one additional place.

Because the “test digit” is greater than or equal to 5, add 1 to the rounding digit and truncate.

Thus, −0.39 ≈ −0.4.

Thus, −2.1/5.3 ≈ −0.39.

Applications

Let’s look at some applications that involve equations containing decimals. For convenience, we repeat the Requirements for Word Problem Solutions.

Requirements for Word Problem Solutions

1. Set up a Variable Dictionary. You must let your readers know what each variable in your problem represents. This can be accomplished in a number of ways:
1. Statements such as “Let P represent the perimeter of the rectangle.”
2. Labeling unknown values with variables in a table.
3. Labeling unknown quantities in a sketch or diagram.
2. Set up an Equation. Every solution to a word problem must include a carefully crafted equation that accurately describes the constraints in the problem statement.
3. Solve the Equation. You must always solve the equation set up in the previous step.
4. Answer the Question. This step is easily overlooked. For example, the problem might ask for Jane’s age, but your equation’s solution gives the age of Jane’s sister Liz. Make sure you answer the original question asked in the problem. Your solution should be written in a sentence with appropriate units.
5. Look Back. It is important to note that this step does not imply that you should simply check your solution in your equation. After all, it’s possible that your equation incorrectly models the problem’s situation, so you could have a valid solution to an incorrect equation. The important question is: “Does your answer make sense based on the words in the original problem statement.”

Example 9

Molly needs to create a rectangular garden plot covering 200 square meters (200 m2). If the width of the plot is 8.9 meters, find the length of the plot correct to the nearest tenth of a meter.

Solution

We will follow the Requirements for Word Problem Solutions.

1. Set up a Variable Dictionary. We will use a sketch to define our variables.

Note that L represents the length of the rectangle.

2. Set Up an Equation. The area A of a rectangle is given by the formula

$A = LW,\nonumber$

where L and W represent the length and width of the rectangle, respectively. Substitute 200 for A and 8.9 for W in the formula to obtain

$200 = L(8.9),\nonumber$

or equivalently,

$200 = 8.9L.\nonumber$

3. Solve the Equation. Divide both sides of the last equation by 8.9, then round your answer to the nearest tenth.

\begin{aligned} \frac{200}{8.9} = \frac{8.9L}{8.9} ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Divide both sides by 8.9.}} \\ 22.5 \approx L ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Round to nearest tenth.}} \end{aligned}\nonumber

To round the answer to the nearest tenth, we must carry the division out one additional place.

Because the “test digit” is greater than or equal to 5, add 1 to the rounding digit and truncate.

Thus, 200/8.9 ≈ 22.5.

4. Answer the Question. To the nearest tenth of a meter, the length of the rectangular plot is L ≈ 22.5 meters.

5. Look Back. We have L ≈ 22.5 meters and W = 8.9 meters. Multiply length and width to find the area.

$\text{Area} \approx (22.5 \text{ m})(8.9 \text{ m}) ≈ 200.25 \text{ m}^2.\nonumber$

Note that this is very nearly the exact area of 200 square meters. The discrepancy is due to the fact that we found the length rounded to the nearest tenth of a meter

Exercise

Eta’s dog run is in the shape of a rectangle with area 500 square feet. If the length of the run is 28 feet, find the width of the run, correct to the nearest tenth of a foot.

17.9 feet

Example 10

Children’s tickets to the circus go on sale for $6.75. The Boys and Girls club of Eureka has$1,000 set aside to purchase these tickets. Approximately how many tickets can the Girls and Boys club purchase?

Solution

We will follow the Requirements for Word Problem Solutions.

1. Set up a Variable Dictionary. Let N represent the number of tickets purchased by the Boys and Girls club of Eureka.

2. Set Up an Equation. Note that

$\begin{matrix} \colorbox{cyan}{Price per ticket} & \text{ times } & \colorbox{cyan}{Number of tickets} & \text{ is } & \colorbox{cyan}{Full Purchase Price} \\ 6.75 & . & N & = & 1,000 \end{matrix}\nonumber$

Hence, our equation is 6.75N = 1000.

3. Solve the Equation. Divide both sides of the equation by 6.75.

\begin{aligned} \frac{6.75N}{6.75} = \frac{1000}{6.75} ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Divide both sides by 6.75.}} \\ N \approx 148 ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Truncate to nearest unit.}} \end{aligned}\nonumber

Push the decimal point to the right-end of the divisor and the decimal point in the dividend an equal number of places.

We’ll stop the division at the units position.

4. Answer the Question. The Boys and Girls club can purchase 148 tickets.

5. Look Back. Let’s calculate the cost of 148 tickets at $6.75 apiece. Thus, at$6.75 apiece, 148 tickets will cost $999. Because the Boys and Girls club of Eureka has$1,000 to work with, note that the club doesn’t have enough money left for another ticket.

Exercise

Adult tickets to the circus cost $12.25 apiece. If the club has$1,200 set aside for adult ticket purchase, how many adult tickets can they purchase?

Example 11

Marta has 20 feet of decorative fencing which she will use for the border of a small circular garden. Find the diameter of the circular garden, correct to the nearest hundredth of a foot. Use π ≈ 3.14.

Solution

The formula governing the relation between the circumference and diameter of a circle is

$C = \pi d\nonumber$

The 20 feet of decorative fencing will be the circumference of the circular garden. Substitute 20 for C and 3.14 for π.

$20 = 3.14d\nonumber$

Divide both sides of the equation by 3.14.

\begin{aligned} \frac{20}{3.14} = \frac{3.14d}{3.14} \\ \frac{20}{3.14} = d \end{aligned}\nonumber

Move the decimal point to the end of the divisor, then move the decimal point in the dividend an equal number of places (two places) to the right. Note that we must add two trailing zeros in the dividend.

Thus, the problem becomes:

$314 \overline{ )2000}\nonumber$

We need to round to the nearest hundredth. This requires that we carry the division one additional place to the right of the hundredths place (i.e., to the thousandths place).

For the final step, we must round 6.369 to the nearest hundredth. In the schematic that follows, we’ve boxed the hundredths digit (the “rounding digit”) and the “test digit” that follows the “rounding digit.”

Because the “test digit” is greater than or equal to 5, we add 1 to the “rounding digit,” then truncate. Therefore, to the nearest hundredth of a foot, the diameter of the circle is approximately

$d ≈ 6.37 \text{ ft.}\nonumber$
