Answer:
x = 8
[tex]0.2 = \frac{x}{5} - 1.4[/tex]
Move 1.4 to the left side of the equation
That's
[tex]0.2 + 1.4 = \frac{x}{5} \\ \\ \frac{x}{5} = 1.6[/tex]
Convert the decimal to fraction
That's
1.6 = 8/5
[tex] \frac{x}{5} = \frac{8}{5} [/tex]
Multiply through by 5
We have
[tex] \frac{x}{5} \times 5 = \frac{8}{5} \times 5 \\ \\ \\ x = 8[/tex]
Hope this helps you
