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

1 answer

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
