1.2(x-8)=1.9(x-1)

Solution for 1.2(x-8)=1.9(x-1) equation:

Simplifying
1.2(x + -8) = 1.9(x + -1)

Reorder the terms:
1.2(-8 + x) = 1.9(x + -1)
(-8 * 1.2 + x * 1.2) = 1.9(x + -1)
(-9.6 + 1.2x) = 1.9(x + -1)

Reorder the terms:
-9.6 + 1.2x = 1.9(-1 + x)
-9.6 + 1.2x = (-1 * 1.9 + x * 1.9)
-9.6 + 1.2x = (-1.9 + 1.9x)

Solving
-9.6 + 1.2x = -1.9 + 1.9x

Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Add '-1.9x' to each side of the equation.
-9.6 + 1.2x + -1.9x = -1.9 + 1.9x + -1.9x

Combine like terms: 1.2x + -1.9x = -0.7x
-9.6 + -0.7x = -1.9 + 1.9x + -1.9x

Combine like terms: 1.9x + -1.9x = 0.0
-9.6 + -0.7x = -1.9 + 0.0
-9.6 + -0.7x = -1.9

Add '9.6' to each side of the equation.
-9.6 + 9.6 + -0.7x = -1.9 + 9.6

Combine like terms: -9.6 + 9.6 = 0.0
0.0 + -0.7x = -1.9 + 9.6
-0.7x = -1.9 + 9.6

Combine like terms: -1.9 + 9.6 = 7.7
-0.7x = 7.7

Divide each side by '-0.7'.
x = -11

Simplifying
x = -11
