0.2x-3-0.4x=2
Subtract 0.4x from both sides.
-0.2x-3=2
Combine 0.2x and -0.4x to get -0.2x.
-0.2x=2+3
Add 3 to both sides.
-0.2x=5
Add 2 and 3 to get 5.
x=\frac{5}{-0.2}
Divide both sides by -0.2.
x=\frac{50}{-2}
Expand \frac{5}{-0.2} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.
x=-25
Divide 50 by -2 to get -25.
