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:
Next, we will solve for x:
-0.3x = 0.6 x = -2
Therefore, the solution for x is -2.
