Answer 1

To solve the equation 0.2x - 2.15 = -8.27, we can start by adding 2.15 to both sides of the equation:

0.2x - 2.15 + 2.15 = -8.27 + 2.15

This simplifies to:

0.2x = -6.12

Next, we divide both sides of the equation by 0.2 to isolate the variable x:

(0.2x) / 0.2 = -6.12 / 0.2

This simplifies to:

x = -30.6

So the solution to the equation is -30.6.
