To find the solution of the equation 0.2x - 2.15 = -8.27, we can isolate the variable x by adding 2.15 to both sides of the equation:

0.2x - 2.15 + 2.15 = -8.27 + 2.15

0.2x = -6.12

To solve for x, divide both sides by 0.2:

x = -6.12 / 0.2

x = -30.6

Therefore, the solution to the equation is -30.6.
