To solve the equation, we will first distribute the numbers outside the parentheses.

-0.2(1.5x - 2) = 1
= -0.3x + 0.4 = 1

-0.4(2x+1)
= -0.8x - 0.4

So now the equation becomes:

-0.3x + 0.4 = 1
= -0.8x - 0.4

Now, we will combine like terms:

-0.3x + 0.4 = 1
= -0.8x - 0.4

Next, we will solve for x:

-0.3x = 0.6
x = -2

Therefore, the solution for x is -2.
