Answer:
x = 360
Step-by-step explanation:
Reorder the terms:
x = 72 + 0.8x
Solving
x = 72 + 0.8x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-0.8x' to each side of the equation.
x + -0.8x = 72 + 0.8x + -0.8x
Combine like terms: x + -0.8x = 0.2x
0.2x = 72 + 0.8x + -0.8x
Combine like terms: 0.8x + -0.8x = 0.0
0.2x = 72 + 0.0
0.2x = 72
Divide each side by '0.2'.
x = 360
Simplifying
x = 360
