Please halp 5.4+0.2x=-1.4x+8.6

5.4+0.2x=-1.4x+8.6

0.2x + 1.4x = 8.6 - 5.4

1.6x = 3.2

x = ?

5.4 + 0.2 x = - 1.4 x + 8.6

Subtract 0.2 x to both sides

5.4 + 0.2 x - 0.2 x = - 1.4 x + 8.6 - 0.2 x

5.4 = - 1.6 x + 8.6

Subtract 8.6 to both sides

5.4 - 8.6 = - 1.6 x + 8.6 - 8.6

- 3.2 = - 1.6 x

- 1.6 x = - 3.2

Divide both sides by -1.6

- 1.6 x / - 1.6 = - 3.2 / - 1.6

x = 2

thx @bosnian
