How to solve the equation "5 (2x + 0.4) = 5x"? 5(2X+0.4)=5X

How to solve the equation "5 (2x + 0.4) = 5x"? 5(2X+0.4)=5X

(1)5(2X+0.4)=5X
2X + 0.4 = x (divide both sides by 5)
X = - 0.4 {if the term changes sign, X changes to the left and becomes - x, then 2x + (- x) = x}
Similarly, 0.4 becomes - 0.4
So x = - 0.4
