Let's solve the equation step by step:
First distribute the 2 on the inside of the parentheses:2(x-1) + 3 = 0.8x + 5.96
Now distribute the 1.2 on the left side of the equation:2x - 2 + 3 = 0.8x + 5.96
Combine like terms:2x + 1 = 0.8x + 5.96
Move all x terms to one side and constants to the other side:2x - 0.8x = 5.96 - 11.2x = 4.96
Solve for x:x = 4.96 / 1.2x = 4.1333
So the solution to the equation 2(x-1) + 3 = 0.8x + 5.96 is x = 4.1333.

1.2x = 4.96
Solve for x:
x = 4.96 / 1.2
x = 4.1333
So the solution to the equation 2(x-1) + 3 = 0.8x + 5.96 is x = 4.1333.
