Answer:

x=-5.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Original equation:

$2(3-x)-1.4(5-2x)=2x+5.3$

Distribute:

$6-2x-7+2.8x=2x+5.3$

Group like terms:

$(6-7)+(2.8x-2x)=2x+5.3$

Add like terms:

$-1+0.8x=2x+5.3$

Add 1 to both sides

$0.8x=2x+6.3$

Subtract 2x from both sides

$-1.2x=6.3$

Divide both sides by -1.2

$x=-5.25$

The difference between a number divided by 3 and 4 is 20.

Alexxandr [17]

Let, the number be "a"

Now, according to the question,
$\frac{a}{3} - 4=20$

$\frac{a-12}{3} =20$

$a-12 =20*3$

$a-12=60$

$a = 60 + 12$

$a = 72$

So, the number is 72
