Answer:


\boxed{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed{ \sf{x = 8.4}}}}}

Explanation:

Given, y = 0.8

To find : value of x


\sf{4x + 8y = 40}

plug the value of y


\longrightarrow{ \sf{4x + 8 * 0.8 = 40}}

Multiply the numbers: 8 and 0.8


\longrightarrow{ \sf{4x + 6.4 = 40}}

Move 6.4 to right hand side and change it's sign


\longrightarrow{ \sf{4x = 40 - 6.4}}

Subtract 6.4 from 40


\longrightarrow{ \sf{4x = 33.6}}

Divide both sides by 4


\longrightarrow{ \sf{ (4x)/(4) = (33.6)/(4) }}

Calculate


\longrightarrow{ \sf{x = 8.4}}

Hope I helped!

Best regards ! :D
