1 answer

To solve the equation -1.5x + 3.8 = -6.7, we need to isolate the variable x.

First, let's subtract 3.8 from both sides of the equation:

-1.5x + 3.8 - 3.8 = -6.7 - 3.8
-1.5x = -10.5

Next, divide both sides of the equation by -1.5 to solve for x:

(-1.5x)/-1.5 = (-10.5)/-1.5
x = 7

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 7.
