Solve 0.6*80=0.2*(80+x)

$$0.6 \times 80=0.2 \times (80+x)$$

Solve for x

$$x=160$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply 0.6 and 80 to get 48.

$$48=0.2\left(80+x\right)$$

Use the distributive property to multiply 0.2 by 80+x.

$$48=16+0.2x$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$16+0.2x=48$$

Subtract 16 from both sides.

$$0.2x=48-16$$

Subtract 16 from 48 to get 32.

$$0.2x=32$$

Divide both sides by 0.2.

$$x=\frac{32}{0.2}$$

Expand \frac{32}{0.2} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$x=\frac{320}{2}$$

Divide 320 by 2 to get 160.

$$x=160$$
