Answer:

x=0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

4x+8=5x+7.2

Step 2: Subtract 5x from both sides.

4x+8−5x=5x+7.2−5x

−x+8=7.2

Step 3: Subtract 8 from both sides.

−x+8−8=7.2−8

−x=−0.8

Answer:

[tex]\boxed {x = 0.8}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for the value of [tex]x[/tex]:

[tex]4x + 8 = 7.2 + 5x[/tex]

-Take [tex]5x[/tex] and subtract it from [tex]4x[/tex]:

[tex]4x + 8 - 5x = 7.2 + 5x - 5x[/tex]

[tex]-x + 8 = 7.2[/tex]

-Subtract [tex]8[/tex] to both sides:

[tex]-x + 8 - 8 = 7.2 - 8[/tex]

[tex]-x = -0.8[/tex]

-Divide both sides by [tex]-1[/tex]:

[tex]\frac{-x}{-1} = \frac{-0.8}{-1}[/tex]

[tex]\boxed {x = 0.8}[/tex]

So, the value of [tex]x[/tex] is [tex]0.8[/tex].
