+3.2

Answer 1

To solve the equation

$$-4.8=-\frac{x}{0.3}+3.2,$$

we will isolate $x$.

1. First, subtract $3.2$ from both sides:

$$-4.8-3.2=-\frac{x}{0.3}.$$

$$-8.0=-\frac{x}{0.3}.$$

2. To eliminate the negative sign, we can multiply both sides by $-1$:

$$8.0=\frac{x}{0.3}.$$

3. Next, multiply both sides by $0.3$ to solve for $x$:

$$x=8.0\times 0.3.$$

4. Calculate $8.0\times 0.3$:

$$x=2.4.$$

So, the solution is

$$\boxed{{\displaystyle 2.4}}.$$
