Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-0.05x' to each side of the equation.
-1.6 + 0.40x + -0.05x = -0.9 + 0.05x + -0.05x

Combine like terms: 0.40x + -0.05x = 0.35x
-1.6 + 0.35x = -0.9 + 0.05x + -0.05x

Combine like terms: 0.05x + -0.05x = 0.00
-1.6 + 0.35x = -0.9 + 0.00
-1.6 + 0.35x = -0.9

Add '1.6' to each side of the equation.
-1.6 + 1.6 + 0.35x = -0.9 + 1.6

Combine like terms: -1.6 + 1.6 = 0.0
0.0 + 0.35x = -0.9 + 1.6
0.35x = -0.9 + 1.6

Combine like terms: -0.9 + 1.6 = 0.7
0.35x = 0.7

Divide each side by '0.35'.
x = 2

Simplifying
x = 2
