Answer:

x=12

Explanation:

First you make sure x is on both sides of the equation. So you do 0.7x-5-0.2x=0.2x+1-0.2x. Which just simplifies to 0.5x-5=1. You make sure x is the only thing on that side of the equation so you do 0.5x-5+5=1+5 which simplifies to 0.5x=6. Multiply the equation times 2 to just have x. x=12. The value that makes true of x is 12.
