Given the expression:
x = 0.8x + 72
Solve for the value of x.
Solution:
In order to solve for the value of x, transpose 72 on the other side of the equation. Note that when transposing a number, the sign will change. After transposing, divide both sides by 0.8 to get the value of x.
= 0.8x + 72
0.8x = -72
x= -90
