What is the solution of the equation 0.2x−2.15=−8.27 ?(1 point)

1 answer

To solve the equation, let's isolate the variable x.

0.2x - 2.15 = -8.27

First, add 2.15 to both sides of the equation to remove 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:

(0.2x)/0.2 = -6.12/0.2
x = -30.6

Therefore, the solution to the equation 0.2x - 2.15 = -8.27 is x = -30.6.
