i picked a

if we solve your equation with respect to x, we get:
x-0.2x=72
0.8 x= 72
now, please divide both sides by 0.8 and you will find the requasted value for x
OpenStudy (thats_kyy):
0.11
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
sorry, the right steps, are:
x -0.8 x= 72
0.2 x= 72
nowm, please divide both sides by 0.2
