0.12(5-2x)=-0.16(x-4)

Solution for 0.12(5-2x)=-0.16(x-4) equation:

Simplifying
0.12(5 + -2x) = -0.16(x + -4)
(5 * 0.12 + -2x * 0.12) = -0.16(x + -4)
(0.6 + -0.24x) = -0.16(x + -4)

Reorder the terms:
0.6 + -0.24x = -0.16(-4 + x)
0.6 + -0.24x = (-4 * -0.16 + x * -0.16)
0.6 + -0.24x = (0.64 + -0.16x)

Solving
0.6 + -0.24x = 0.64 + -0.16x

Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Add '0.16x' to each side of the equation.
0.6 + -0.24x + 0.16x = 0.64 + -0.16x + 0.16x

Combine like terms: -0.24x + 0.16x = -0.08x
0.6 + -0.08x = 0.64 + -0.16x + 0.16x

Combine like terms: -0.16x + 0.16x = 0.00
0.6 + -0.08x = 0.64 + 0.00
0.6 + -0.08x = 0.64

Add '-0.6' to each side of the equation.
0.6 + -0.6 + -0.08x = 0.64 + -0.6

Combine like terms: 0.6 + -0.6 = 0.0
0.0 + -0.08x = 0.64 + -0.6
-0.08x = 0.64 + -0.6

Combine like terms: 0.64 + -0.6 = 0.04
-0.08x = 0.04

Divide each side by '-0.08'.
x = -0.5

Simplifying
x = -0.5
