Solve 0.3x-2.15=0.8x+3.75

$$0.3 x - 2.15 = 0.8 x + 3.75$$

Solve for x

$$x=-11.8$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 0.8x from both sides.

$$0.3x-2.15-0.8x=3.75$$

Combine 0.3x and -0.8x to get -0.5x.

$$-0.5x-2.15=3.75$$

Add 2.15 to both sides.

$$-0.5x=3.75+2.15$$

Add 3.75 and 2.15 to get 5.9.

$$-0.5x=5.9$$

Divide both sides by -0.5.

$$x=\frac{5.9}{-0.5}$$

Expand \frac{5.9}{-0.5} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$x=\frac{59}{-5}$$

Fraction \frac{59}{-5} can be rewritten as -\frac{59}{5} by extracting the negative sign.

$$x=-\frac{59}{5}$$
