To solve for x, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation.
0.72 = 0.4(x + 1.4)
Distribute 0.4 to the terms inside the parentheses:
0.72 = 0.4x + 0.56
Subtract 0.56 from both sides:
0.72 - 0.56 = 0.4x
0.16 = 0.4x
Divide both sides by 0.4:
0.16/0.4 = x
x = 0.4
Thus, the solution is x = 0.4
Solve for x. 0.72=0.4(x 1.4) (1 point) Responses x = -1.4 x = -1.4 x = 0.27 x = 0.27 x = 1.2 x = 1.2 x = 0.4 x = 0.4
