0.2
x
​
+3.3=
−16.2

Answer 1

To solve for \( x \) in the equation

\[
\frac{x}{0.2} + 3.3 = -16.2,
\]

follow these steps:

1. **Isolate the fraction** by subtracting \( 3.3 \) from both sides:

\[
\frac{x}{0.2} = -16.2 - 3.3.
\]

2. **Perform the subtraction** on the right side:

\[
-16.2 - 3.3 = -19.5.
\]

Now the equation is:

\[
\frac{x}{0.2} = -19.5.
\]

3. **Multiply both sides by \( 0.2 \)** to solve for \( x \):

\[
x = -19.5 \times 0.2.
\]

4. **Calculate the product**:

\[
x = -3.9.
\]

Thus, the solution is

\[
\boxed{-3.9}.
\]
