SUMMARY

The discussion centers on solving the equation Ro + 0.4Ro = 140, where the solution is determined to be Ro = 100. The calculation involves combining like terms, resulting in 1.4Ro = 140, followed by dividing both sides by 1.4 to isolate Ro. The presence of an assumed coefficient of 1.0 in front of Ro is acknowledged as a key detail in understanding the equation.

1. I have a formula and for some reason can't grasp it



2. Ro + 0.4Ro = 140
Answer is Ro = 100




3. Ro + 0.4Ro = 140
1+0.4 Ro = 140
1.4 Ro = 140
140 / 1.4 = Ro

Is this correct
