Simplify

36 - 48 x - 2 x

Subtract the terms

More Steps

Evaluate

- 48 x - 2 x

Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients

(- 48 - 2) x

Subtract the numbers

- 50 x

36 - 50 x

36 - 50 x = 0

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

- 50 x = 0 - 36

Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression

- 50 x = - 36

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

50 x = 36

Divide both sides

\frac{50 x}{50} = \frac{36}{50}

Divide the numbers

x = \frac{36}{50}

Solution

x = \frac{18}{25}

Alternative Form

x = 0.72
