1.2x-1.4 = 8.2 who can do a simple equation and have a solution (note that 1.2x is not a multiplication sign but X And say why

1.2x-1.4 = 8.2 who can do a simple equation and have a solution (note that 1.2x is not a multiplication sign but X And say why

The ratio of 1.2x-1.4 is 8.2
Reduce to add
1.2X=8.2+1.4
therefore
1.2x=9.6
Because the product divided by one factor equals another factor
therefore
x=9.6÷1.2
therefore
x=8
