Answer:
x= 50
Step-by-step explanation:
First, simplify the equation
Expand the terms on the left hand side to make it easier to rearrange
-0.2(x-20) =44-x
-0.2x+4 =44-x
Rearrange the equation by moving the numbers to one side and the variables to the other
-0.2x +x= 44-4
0.8x = 40
Isolate for x
x= 40/0.8
x= 50
