To solve for x, we need to first distribute 0.4 to both terms inside the parentheses.
0.72 = 0.4x + 0.4(1.4)
Now, we can simplify the expression by multiplying:
0.72 = 0.4x + 0.56
Next, we can subtract 0.56 from both sides of the equation to isolate the term with x:
0.72 - 0.56 = 0.4x
0.16 = 0.4x
To solve for x, we can divide both sides of the equation by 0.4:
0.16/0.4 = x
0.4 = x
Therefore, the solution for x is x = 0.4
Solve for x.
0.72=0.4(x+1.4) (1 point)

x = -1.4
x = -1.4
x = 0.27
x = 0.27
x = 1.2
x = 1.2
x = 0.4
x = 0.4
