Let's expand the left side of the equation:
3*(1.4x - 3.5) = 4.2x - 10.5
Now we can rewrite the equation with the expanded left side:
4.2x - 10.5 = -2.3x - 9
Next, let's simplify the equation by combining like terms:
4.2x + 2.3x = 10.5 - 96.5x = 1.5
Finally, we solve for x by dividing both sides by 6.5:
x = 1.5 / 6.5x = 0.230769
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 0.230769.
