Expand

4x - 28 = 0.3x + 0.6 + 2.11

Simplify 0.3x + 0.6 + 2.11 to 0.3x + 2.71

4x - 28 = 0.3x + 2.71

Add 28 to both sides

4x = 0.3x + 2.71 + 28

Simplify 0.3x + 2.71 + 28 to 0.3x + 30.71

4x = 0.3x + 30.71

Subtract 0.3x from both sides

4x - 0.3x = 30.71

Simplify 4x - 0.3x to 3.7x

3.7x = 30.71

Divide both sides by 3.7

x = 30.71/3.7

Simplify 30.71/3.7 to 8.3

x = 8.3
