.3x = .17 - .03
.3x = .14

You need to move things from one side to another and when you cross over the = sign you change the - to a + or the + to a -

First step
Move the .03 over to the other side of the equals which means you have to subtract .03 from both sides.

So the problem becomes
.3x + .03 - .03 = .17-.03
The .03 on the left cancels each other out
so the problem now becomes
.3x = .14
since the .3x is really .3 times x, you want to do the opposite, that means divide both sides by .3
So the problem now becomes
.3x/3 = .14/.3
That leaves
X = 0.46667

This is a very simple question and generally speaking you should have done it yourself. There are three or four ways of solving it but I am showing you two processes generally followed in Indian Schools (!) .3x+.03-.03= .17-.03 (subtracting .03 from both sides) or .3x=.14 or,x=.14/.3=.466 (2) .3x+.03=.17 or,.3x=.17-.03 or,.3x=.14 or,x= .14/.3 = 1.4/3=.4666

.3x + .03 - .03 = .17 - .03 (.14)
.3x = .14
.3/.3 x = .14/.3
x = .14/.3 = .46666 (rounded up, it is .5)

I think you need a maths tutor!

These questions you keep asking all require the exact same skills, so go and see your teacher for some extra help! S/he should be able to sort you out for free in under an hour.

Or I'm willing to tutor you myself if you can come to my house in South London. I usually charge £20 an hour.

.3x + .03 = .17
.3x = .14
x = .467

these you put up are all very easy. you need to add/subtract to the point where you get LIKE TERMS on opposite sides. then divide to find x.

0.3x +0.03 = 0.17
.3x = .14
x = 0.466666666666... or 7/15
