Answer:
x = 1
Explanation:
Simply solve for x in the given equation
0.2(x + 1) + 0.5x = -0.3( x - 4)
Distribute the 0.2 and -0.3 to what is inside the fraction
0.2x + 0.2 + 0.5x = -0.3x + 1.2
Combine like terms
0.7x + 0.2 = -0.3x + 1.2
move all the variables to one side of the equation
1.0x = 1
then solve for x
x = 1
