To find the solution of the equation 0.2x - 2.15 = -8.27, we need to isolate the variable x.

First, let's get rid of the constant term by adding 2.15 to both sides of the equation:

0.2x - 2.15 + 2.15 = -8.27 + 2.15
0.2x = -6.12

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

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

The solution to the equation is x = -30.6.
