Answer 1

The value of x = -13

Explanation:

Given the expression

`(0.2x+1)/(2)=-0.8`

Multiply both sides by 2

`(2\left(0.2x+1\right))/(2)=2\left(-0.8\right)`

simplify

`0.2x+1=-1.6`

Subtract 1 from both sides

`0.2x+1-1=-1.6-1`

Simplify

`0.2x=-2.6`

Divide both sides by 0.2

`(0.2x)/(0.2)=(-2.6)/(0.2)`

Simplify

`x=-13`

Therefore, the value of x = -13
