Answer:
Proportion states that the two fractions or ratios are equal
Given the equation:
By cross multiply we get;
Using distributive property;
Subtract 0.4 from both sides we get;
Subtract 1.5x from both sides we get;
Divide both sides by 0.1 we get;
Simplify:
x = 56
Therefore, the value of x that satisfy the equation is, 56

Answer:
I realize its probably not the largest readable font. If you are having trouble reading it, it is the square root of y; however, there is a tiny little 5 in the upper left corner to indicate a fifth root. So you would read it out as "the fifth root of y"
The rule I'm using is
and the more general rule we could use is
where m = 1. This rule helps convert from rational exponent form (aka fractional exponents) to radical form.
