To solve the equation 0.2x - 2.15 = -8.27, you want to isolate the variable x.
First, add 2.15 to both sides of the equation to eliminate the -2.15 on the left side:
0.2x - 2.15 + 2.15 = -8.27 + 2.15
0.2x = -6.12
Next, divide both sides of the equation by 0.2 to solve for x:
x = -6.12 / 0.2
x = -30.6
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = -30.6.
First, add 2.15 to both sides of the equation to eliminate the -2.15 on the left side:
0.2x - 2.15 + 2.15 = -8.27 + 2.15
0.2x = -6.12
Next, divide both sides of the equation by 0.2 to solve for x:
x = -6.12 / 0.2
x = -30.6
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = -30.6.
