0.4x - 1.2 = 0.5x + 2 - 2.5
Simplify both sides:
0.4x - 1.2 = 0.5x - 0.5
Now, let's isolate x:
0.4x - 0.5x = -1.2 + 0.5
-0.1x = -0.7
Now, divide by -0.1 to solve for x:
x = -0.7 / -0.1x = 7
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 7.
0.4x - 1.2 = 0.5x + 2 - 2.5
Simplify both sides:
0.4x - 1.2 = 0.5x - 0.5
Now, let's isolate x:
0.4x - 0.5x = -1.2 + 0.5
-0.1x = -0.7
Now, divide by -0.1 to solve for x:
x = -0.7 / -0.1
x = 7
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 7.
