You have nothing to fear if you know how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide them without any variables.

The 2.4x and the 1.2x are like terms, so you can combine them by subtraction. So 2.4x - 1.2x = 1.2x.

Now you've got 1.2x = 4.8. All you have to do is take the 4.8 and divide by 1.2 to get your answer. In this case, x = 4.
