Multiply all terms by a number (usually a power of 10) large enough to turn all decimal numbers into whole numbers.
For example, take .4x = .75x - 2; multiply everything by 100 (102) to get 40x = 75x - 200.
Obviously, this method won't work with irrational decimals such as pi.

Is it possible to have negative decimal points?
Decimal points aren't positive or negative. Decimals can be either.
How can you find the sums of decimal amounts in dollars and cents?
Put the numbers in a column with the decimal points aligned. Add the numbers ignoring the decimal points. Insert the decimal point in the answer exactly below the column of decimal points in the numbers being added (summands).

Write 53.62 billion in digits?
You must add 9 digits (or 12 digits, depending on the country) after the decimal point, and eliminate the decimal point. Thus (assuming the "short scale") you get: 53,620,000,000.You must add 9 digits (or 12 digits, depending on the country) after the decimal point, and eliminate the decimal point.

Do you line up decimal points when multiplyig?
Unlike addition, there is no need to line up the decimal points. Just multiply ignoring the decimal points. When you are done, move the decimal point of the result to the left equal to the number of digits after the decimal point for both multiplicands.
