First arrange the equation so like terms are on the same side by subtracting 3.2 from both sides and 0.2x from both sides:

0.1x = -1.8

Then divide both sides by 0.1 to get x by itself:

x = -18

x equals -18
 Simplifying 3.2 + 0.3x = 0.2x + 1.4

Reorder the terms:
3.2 + 0.3x = 1.4 + 0.2x

Solving
3.2 + 0.3x = 1.4 + 0.2x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-0.2x' to each side of the equation.
3.2 + 0.3x + -0.2x = 1.4 + 0.2x + -0.2x

Combine like terms: 0.3x + -0.2x = 0.1x
3.2 + 0.1x = 1.4 + 0.2x + -0.2x

Combine like terms: 0.2x + -0.2x = 0.0
3.2 + 0.1x = 1.4 + 0.0
3.2 + 0.1x = 1.4

Add '-3.2' to each side of the equation.
3.2 + -3.2 + 0.1x = 1.4 + -3.2

Combine like terms: 3.2 + -3.2 = 0.0
0.0 + 0.1x = 1.4 + -3.2
0.1x = 1.4 + -3.2

Combine like terms: 1.4 + -3.2 = -1.8
0.1x = -1.8

Divide each side by '0.1'.
x = -18

Simplifying
x = -18
