What is the solution of the equation 0.2x−2.15=−8.27?(1 point)

1 answer

To solve the equation 0.2x - 2.15 = -8.27, we can start by adding 2.15 to both sides of the equation to isolate the variable:

0.2x - 2.15 + 2.15 = -8.27 + 2.15

This simplifies to:

0.2x = -6.12

To solve for x, we divide both sides of the equation by 0.2:

(0.2x) / 0.2 = -6.12 / 0.2

This gives us:

x = -30.6

Therefore, the solution to the equation 0.2x - 2.15 = -8.27 is x = -30.6.
