Simplifying
x + 0.7 = 1 + -0.2x
Reorder the terms:
0.7 + x = 1 + -0.2x
Solving
0.7 + x = 1 + -0.2x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '0.2x' to each side of the equation.
0.7 + x + 0.2x = 1 + -0.2x + 0.2x
Combine like terms: x + 0.2x = 1.2x
0.7 + 1.2x = 1 + -0.2x + 0.2x
Combine like terms: -0.2x + 0.2x = 0.0
0.7 + 1.2x = 1 + 0.0
0.7 + 1.2x = 1
Add '-0.7' to each side of the equation.
0.7 + -0.7 + 1.2x = 1 + -0.7
Combine like terms: 0.7 + -0.7 = 0.0
0.0 + 1.2x = 1 + -0.7
1.2x = 1 + -0.7
Combine like terms: 1 + -0.7 = 0.3
1.2x = 0.3
Divide each side by '1.2'.
x = 0.25
Simplifying
x = 0.25

Answer:
-5x+8
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>ANSWER:
</u>
Zach has 28 dimes and 7 quarters.
<u>SOLUTION:
</u>
Given, Zach has 4 times as many dimes as quarters
And they have a combined value of 455 cents,
We need to find how many of each coins does he have?
Let, the number of dimes be x and number of quarters be y.
Then, x = 4y → (1)
Total combined value = 455 cents
x(value of one dime) + y(value of one quarter) = 455 cents
x(10 cents) + x(25 cents) = 455 cents
10x + 25y = 455 → (2)
Now, substitute (1) in (2)
10(4y) + 25y = 455
40x + 25y = 455
65y = 455
y = 7
substitute y value in (1)
x = 4(7) = 28
Hence, zach has 28 dimes and 7 quarters.
