Answer:

x = 1.49

Explanation:

3.8x - (1.6 - 1.2x) = 9.6 + (3.7 - 5x) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides

3.8x - 1.6 + 1.2x = 9.6 + 3.7 - 5x ← simplify both sides

5x - 1.6 = 13.3 - 5x ( add 5x to both sides )

10x - 1.6 = 13.3 ( add 1,6 to both sides )

10x = 14.9 ( divide both sides by 10 )

x = 1.49
