Please and thank you.

Answer 1

x=44

Explanation:

Multiply by 10 from both sides of equation.

0.2x*10+0.8*10=9.6*10

Simplify.

2x+8=96

Subtract by 8 from both sides of equation.

2x+8-8=96-8

Simplify.

96-8=88

2x=88

Divide by 2 from both sides of equation.

2x/2=88/2

Simplify, to find the answer.

88/2=44

x=44 is the correct answer.

I hope this helps you, and have a wonderful day!
