1.4(4-x)=1.2(2-x)

Solution for 1.4(4-x)=1.2(2-x) equation:

Simplifying
1.4(4 + -1x) = 1.2(2 + -1x)
(4 * 1.4 + -1x * 1.4) = 1.2(2 + -1x)
(5.6 + -1.4x) = 1.2(2 + -1x)
5.6 + -1.4x = (2 * 1.2 + -1x * 1.2)
5.6 + -1.4x = (2.4 + -1.2x)

Solving
5.6 + -1.4x = 2.4 + -1.2x

Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Add '1.2x' to each side of the equation.
5.6 + -1.4x + 1.2x = 2.4 + -1.2x + 1.2x

Combine like terms: -1.4x + 1.2x = -0.2x
5.6 + -0.2x = 2.4 + -1.2x + 1.2x

Combine like terms: -1.2x + 1.2x = 0.0
5.6 + -0.2x = 2.4 + 0.0
5.6 + -0.2x = 2.4

Add '-5.6' to each side of the equation.
5.6 + -5.6 + -0.2x = 2.4 + -5.6

Combine like terms: 5.6 + -5.6 = 0.0
0.0 + -0.2x = 2.4 + -5.6
-0.2x = 2.4 + -5.6

Combine like terms: 2.4 + -5.6 = -3.2
-0.2x = -3.2

Divide each side by '-0.2'.
x = 16

Simplifying
x = 16
