1 answer

To solve the equation \( 0.2x - 2.15 = -8.27 \), follow these steps:

  1. First, isolate the term with \( x \) by adding \( 2.15 \) to both sides of the equation:

    \[ 0.2x - 2.15 + 2.15 = -8.27 + 2.15 \]

    Simplifying this gives:

    \[ 0.2x = -6.12 \]

  2. Next, solve for \( x \) by dividing both sides by \( 0.2 \):

    \[ x = \frac{-6.12}{0.2} \]

  3. Performing the division:

    \[ x = -30.6 \]

Therefore, the solution of the equation \( 0.2x - 2.15 = -8.27 \) is \( \boxed{-30.6} \).
