solve: -0.08x + 1.1 = -3.2x - 5.14.
provide your answer below:
x = □

Explanation:

Step1: Add 3.2x to both sides

$-0.08x + 3.2x+1.1=-3.2x + 3.2x-5.14$
$3.12x + 1.1=-5.14$

Step2: Subtract 1.1 from both sides

$3.12x+1.1 - 1.1=-5.14 - 1.1$
$3.12x=-6.24$

Step3: Divide both sides by 3.12

$x=\frac{-6.24}{3.12}$

Answer:

$x = - 2$
