To solve the equation \( 0.2x - 2.15 = -8.27 \), we can follow these steps:

1. **Add 2.15 to both sides of the equation:**
\[
0.2x - 2.15 + 2.15 = -8.27 + 2.15
\]
\[
0.2x = -8.27 + 2.15
\]
\[
0.2x = -6.12
\]

2. **Divide both sides by 0.2 to isolate \( x \):**
\[
x = \frac{-6.12}{0.2}
\]
\[
x = -30.6
\]

Thus, the solution to the equation is \( x = -30.6 \).

**Final Answer:**
-30.6
