1.2%28x-2%29+=+2-x
.
Multiply the left side factor:
1.2%2Ax+-+1.2%2A2+=+2-x
1.2x+-+2.4+=+2+-+x
.
Add x to both sides of the equation:
%281.2x+-+2.4%29+%2B+x+=+%282+-+x%29+%2B+x
1.2x+-+2.4+%2B+x+=+2+-+x+%2B+x
.
Collect like terms:
2.2x+-+2.4+=+2
.
Add 2.4 to both sides:
%282.2x+-+2.4%29+%2B+2.4+=+2+%2B+2.4
2.2x+-+2.4+%2B+2.4+=+4.4
2.2x+=+4.4
.
Divide both sides by 2.2:
%282.2x%29%2F2.2+=+%284.4%29%2F2.2
x+=+2
