Answer:

x = 2.67

Move variables to the right and constants to the left, Then divide and you get the answer.

Explanation:

-1.3+4.6x=0.3+4x (given)

-1.3x + 0.6x =0.3 (subtraction property of equality)

0.6x = 1.6 (addition property of equality)

x = 2.66666666667 (division property of equality)

2.66666666667 = 2.67 (rounding to the nearest tenth)
