To solve this equation, we first need to simplify both sides by dividing.
Starting with the left side:
(1.2x - 5) / 6
Distribute the division by 6:
1.2x / 6 - 5 / 6
Simplify:
0.2x - 5/6
Now moving on to the right side:
(2.2x + 3) / 3
Distribute the division by 3:
2.2x / 3 + 3 / 3
0.733x + 1
So, our equation becomes:
0.2x - 5/6 = 0.733x + 1
Now we need to solve for x.
First, get rid of the denominator by multiplying both sides by 6:
6(0.2x - 5/6) = 6(0.733x + 1)
1.2x - 5 = 4.398x + 6
Now, combine like terms:
1.2x - 4.398x = 5 + 6
-3.198x = 11
Finally, solve for x:
x = -3.44
