0.8x+8=x+60
Use the distributive property to multiply 0.8 by x+10.
0.8x+8-x=60
Subtract x from both sides.
-0.2x+8=60
Combine 0.8x and -x to get -0.2x.
-0.2x=60-8
Subtract 8 from both sides.
-0.2x=52
Subtract 8 from 60 to get 52.
x=\frac{52}{-0.2}
Divide both sides by -0.2.
x=\frac{520}{-2}
Expand \frac{52}{-0.2} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.
x=-260
Divide 520 by -2 to get -260.
