0.2x+480-0.6x=400
Use the distributive property to multiply 0.6 by 800-x.
-0.4x+480=400
Combine 0.2x and -0.6x to get -0.4x.
-0.4x=400-480
Subtract 480 from both sides.
-0.4x=-80
Subtract 480 from 400 to get -80.
x=\frac{-80}{-0.4}
Divide both sides by -0.4.
x=\frac{-800}{-4}
Expand \frac{-80}{-0.4} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.
x=200
Divide -800 by -4 to get 200.
