Solve 0.2+40-x=x

$$0.2 + 40 - x = x$$

Solve for x

$$x=20.1$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Add 0.2 and 40 to get 40.2.

$$40.2-x=x$$

Subtract x from both sides.

$$40.2-x-x=0$$

Combine -x and -x to get -2x.

$$40.2-2x=0$$

Subtract 40.2 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.

$$-2x=-40.2$$

Divide both sides by -2.

$$x=\frac{-40.2}{-2}$$

Expand \frac{-40.2}{-2} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$x=\frac{-402}{-20}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{-402}{-20} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out -2.

$$x=\frac{201}{10}$$
