2.5x-1.7=2x-0.2
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x-0.1.
2.5x-1.7-2x=-0.2
Subtract 2x from both sides.
0.5x-1.7=-0.2
Combine 2.5x and -2x to get 0.5x.
0.5x=-0.2+1.7
Add 1.7 to both sides.
0.5x=1.5
Add -0.2 and 1.7 to get 1.5.
x=\frac{1.5}{0.5}
Divide both sides by 0.5.
x=\frac{15}{5}
Expand \frac{1.5}{0.5} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.
x=3
Divide 15 by 5 to get 3.
