Answer:

X = 8

Explanation:

0.8x - 1 = 0.6x + 0.6

+ 1 = + 1

0.8x = 0.6x + 1.6

- 0.6x = - 0.6x

0.2x = 1.6

0.2x / 0.2 = 1.6 / 0.2

X = 8

Hello!

Answer:


\Large \boxed{\sf x = 8}

Explanation:

→ We want to solve this equation:


\sf 0.8 x- 1 = 0.6 x + 0.6

Add 1 to both sides:


\sf 0.8 x- 1 +1= 0.6 x + 0.6 +1

Simplify both sides:


\sf 0.8 x= 0.6 x + 1.6

Subtract 0.6x from both sides:


\sf 0.8 x-0.6x= 0.6 x + 1.6-0.6x

Simplify both sides:


\sf 0.2x= 1.6

Divide both sides by 0.2:


\sf (0.2x)/(0.2) = (1.6)/(0.2)

Simplify both sides:


\boxed{\sf x = 8}

Conclusion:

The solution of the equation 0.8x - 1 = 0.6x + 0.6 is 8.
