Solve for x.

0.72=0.4(x+1.4)

1 answer

0.72 = 0.4(x+1.4)

First, distribute the 0.4:

0.72 = 0.4x + 0.4(1.4)

Simplify:

0.72 = 0.4x + 0.56

Next, isolate the variable term:

0.72 - 0.56 = 0.4x

0.16 = 0.4x

Now, solve for x by dividing both sides by 0.4:

0.16/0.4 = x

0.4 = x

Therefore, the solution is x = 0.4.
