Solve the equation $$ (x+1) 	imes 1.2 = (x+6) $$.
Solve the equation by following steps:
- step0: Solve for $$x$$:
  $$\left(x+1ight)	imes 1.2=x+6$$
- step1: Multiply the terms:
  $$1.2\left(x+1ight)=x+6$$
- step2: Expand the expression:
  $$1.2x+1.2=x+6$$
- step3: Move the variable to the left side:
  $$1.2x+1.2-x=6$$
- step4: Subtract the terms:
  $$0.2x+1.2=6$$
- step5: Move the constant to the right side:
  $$0.2x=6-1.2$$
- step6: Subtract the numbers:
  $$0.2x=4.8$$
- step7: Divide both sides:
  $$\frac{0.2x}{0.2}=\frac{4.8}{0.2}$$
- step8: Divide the numbers:
  $$x=24$$
The value of $$ x $$ is 24.
$$ x=24 $$.
