1.4(2-5x) = 15 - (7x + 12.2)
First, distribute the 1.4 on the left side:
2.8 - 7x = 15 - (7x + 12.2)
Next, distribute the negative sign on the right side:
2.8 - 7x = 15 - 7x - 12.2
Now, combine like terms on the right side:
2.8 - 7x = 2.8 - 7x
Since both sides of the equation are equal, this equation has no solution.
