5.2 - 4.8 = 0.4
4.8 - 4.4 = 0.4
4.4 - 4.0 = 0.4
4.0 - x = 0.4
Therefore -x = 0.4 - 4.0
= -(4.0 - 0.4)
= -3.6
=>> x = 3.6
4.8 - 4.4 = 0.4
4.4 - 4.0 = 0.4
4.0 - x = 0.4
Therefore -x = 0.4 - 4.0
= -(4.0 - 0.4)
= -3.6
=>> x = 3.6

4.4-4.0 = 0.4.
Now 4.0-0.4 = 3.6, this is Answer
4.8-4.4 = 0.4.
4.4-4.0 = 0.4.
Now 4.0-0.4 = 3.6, this is Answer
