Question

1. find the solution to the equation. 0.08 + 0.4x = -2.12 x = -5.3 x = 6.5 x = 5.3 x = -5.5

Explanation:

Step1: Isolate the term with $x$

Subtract 0.08 from both sides:
$0.4x = -2.12 - 0.08$
$0.4x = -2.2$

Step2: Solve for $x$

Divide both sides by 0.4:
$x = \frac{-2.2}{0.4}$
$x = -5.5$

Answer:

$x = -5.5$
