Solve 4x-0.8=1.2x-0.2

$$4 x - 0.8 = 1.2 x - 0.2$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{3}{14}\approx 0.214285714$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 1.2x from both sides.

$$4x-0.8-1.2x=-0.2$$

Combine 4x and -1.2x to get 2.8x.

$$2.8x-0.8=-0.2$$

Add 0.8 to both sides.

$$2.8x=-0.2+0.8$$

Add -0.2 and 0.8 to get 0.6.

$$2.8x=0.6$$

Divide both sides by 2.8.

$$x=\frac{0.6}{2.8}$$

Expand \frac{0.6}{2.8} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$x=\frac{6}{28}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{6}{28} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$x=\frac{3}{14}$$
