\frac{72}{3.6}x=\frac{-108}{3.6}x
Cancel out 30 on both sides.
\frac{720}{36}x=\frac{-108}{3.6}x
Expand \frac{72}{3.6} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.
20x=\frac{-108}{3.6}x
Divide 720 by 36 to get 20.
20x=\frac{-1080}{36}x
Expand \frac{-108}{3.6} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.
20x=-30x
Divide -1080 by 36 to get -30.
20x+30x=0
Add 30x to both sides.
50x=0
Combine 20x and 30x to get 50x.
x=0
Product of two numbers is equal to 0 if at least one of them is 0. Since 50 is not equal to 0, x must be equal to 0.
