Solve 8=-15/5.5*-3+x

$$8 = - \frac{ 15 }{ 5.5 } \times -3+x$$

Solve for x

$$x=-\frac{2}{11}\approx -0.181818182$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Expand \frac{15}{5.5} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$8=\left(-\frac{150}{55}\right)\left(-3\right)+x$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{150}{55} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 5.

$$8=-\frac{30}{11}\left(-3\right)+x$$

Express -\frac{30}{11}\left(-3\right) as a single fraction.

$$8=\frac{-30\left(-3\right)}{11}+x$$

Multiply -30 and -3 to get 90.

$$8=\frac{90}{11}+x$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$\frac{90}{11}+x=8$$

Subtract \frac{90}{11} from both sides.

$$x=8-\frac{90}{11}$$

Convert 8 to fraction \frac{88}{11}.

$$x=\frac{88}{11}-\frac{90}{11}$$

Since \frac{88}{11} and \frac{90}{11} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$x=\frac{88-90}{11}$$

Subtract 90 from 88 to get -2.

$$x=-\frac{2}{11}$$
