Add 0.2x and 1.4x.
1.6x+2.4=3.5
1.6x+2.4=3.5
Subtract 2.4 from both sides of the equation.
1.6x=3.5-2.4
Subtract 2.4 from 3.5.
1.6x=1.1
1.6x=1.1
Divide each term in 1.6x=1.1 by 1.6.
1.6×1.6=1.11.6
Cancel the common factor of 1.6.
x=1.11.6
Divide 1.1 by 1.6.
x=0.6875
x=0.6875
Solve for x 0.2x+2.4=3.5-1.4x
