To solve for x, we need to isolate the variable on one side of the equation.

First, we'll distribute the 0.4 to the terms inside the parentheses:
0.72 = 0.4x + 0.4(1.4)

Next, we'll simplify the expression by multiplying 0.4 by 1.4:
0.72 = 0.4x + 0.56

To isolate the variable, we'll subtract 0.56 from both sides of the equation:
0.72 - 0.56 = 0.4x + 0.56 - 0.56
0.16 = 0.4x

Finally, we divide both sides of the equation by 0.4 to solve for x:
0.16/0.4 = 0.4x/0.4
0.4 = x

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 0.4.
