Solve .2(1.2x+.8)-1.63=-23.07

$$.2(1.2x+.8)-1.63=-23.07$$

Solve for x

$$x=-90$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply 0.2 by 1.2x+0.8.

$$0.24x+0.16-1.63=-23.07$$

Subtract 1.63 from 0.16 to get -1.47.

$$0.24x-1.47=-23.07$$

Add 1.47 to both sides.

$$0.24x=-23.07+1.47$$

Add -23.07 and 1.47 to get -21.6.

$$0.24x=-21.6$$

Divide both sides by 0.24.

$$x=\frac{-21.6}{0.24}$$

Expand \frac{-21.6}{0.24} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 100.

$$x=\frac{-2160}{24}$$

Divide -2160 by 24 to get -90.

$$x=-90$$
