Question

What is the solution of the equation 0.2x - 2.15 = -8.27? (1 point)
0 -52.1
O -1.224
O -3.06
O -30.6

Answer 1

To solve the equation 0.2x - 2.15 = -8.27, we can add 2.15 to both sides:

0.2x - 2.15 + 2.15 = -8.27 + 2.15

This simplifies to:

0.2x = -6.12

Now, to isolate x, we can 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 is x = -30.6.
