Full solution

Q. Solve for x x .\newline4x+8=7.2+5xx= \begin{array}{l} 4 x+8=7.2+5 x \\ x=\square \end{array}
  1. Isolate the variable x: Isolate the variable x on one side of the equation.\newlineWe start with the equation 4x+8=7.2+5x4x + 8 = 7.2 + 5x.\newlineSubtract 4x4x from both sides to move the x terms to one side.\newline4x+84x=7.2+5x4x4x + 8 - 4x = 7.2 + 5x - 4x\newlineThis simplifies to 8=7.2+x8 = 7.2 + x.
  2. Subtract 4x4x from both sides: Isolate xx completely.\newlineNow subtract 7.27.2 from both sides to solve for xx.\newline87.2=7.2+x7.28 - 7.2 = 7.2 + x - 7.2\newlineThis simplifies to 0.8=x0.8 = x.
