Simplifying
x + 0.7 = 1 + -0.2x
Reorder the terms:
0.7 + x = 1 + -0.2x
Solving
0.7 + x = 1 + -0.2x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '0.2x' to each side of the equation.
0.7 + x + 0.2x = 1 + -0.2x + 0.2x
Combine like terms: x + 0.2x = 1.2x
0.7 + 1.2x = 1 + -0.2x + 0.2x
Combine like terms: -0.2x + 0.2x = 0.0
0.7 + 1.2x = 1 + 0.0
0.7 + 1.2x = 1
Add '-0.7' to each side of the equation.
0.7 + -0.7 + 1.2x = 1 + -0.7
Combine like terms: 0.7 + -0.7 = 0.0
0.0 + 1.2x = 1 + -0.7
1.2x = 1 + -0.7
Combine like terms: 1 + -0.7 = 0.3
1.2x = 0.3
Divide each side by '1.2'.
x = 0.25
Simplifying
x = 0.25
