Answer:
x = 8/7
Step-by-step explanation:
.2(.7x-5)+0.2=1.4(x-1.6) . . . . given
Eliminating parentheses, we have ...
0.14x -1 +0.2 = 1.4x -2.24
1.44 = 1.26x . . . . . . . add 2.24-0.14x to both sides
x = 1.44/1.26 . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x
x = 8/7 . . . . . . . . . . .simplify the fraction
__
As a repeating decimal, the value of x is ...

However, the notation 1.(142857) is usually reserved for the case where the contents of parentheses are being multiplied by the factor in front. You would need to consult your instructions to see how the decimal version of the answer should be entered. (Quite often, rounding is suggested.)

Step-by-step explanation:
We can't see the graph so we don't know the question
5 days food for 150 students suggests there was 750 day rations
