Let's solve your equation step-by-step.1.8−3.7x=−4.2+0.3Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
1.8−3.7x
=−4.2+0.3

Simplify:

1.8+
3.7x
=−4.2+0.3

3.7x
+1.8
=(−4.2+0.3)
(Combine Like Terms)
3.7x
+1.8
=−3.9

3.7x
+1.8
=−3.9

Step 2: Subtract 1.8 from both sides.
3.7x
+1.8
−1.8
=−3.9−1.8

3.7x
=−5.7

Step 3: Divide both sides by -3.7.
3.7x
−3.7
=−5.7−3.7

x=1.540541

Answer:
x=1.540541

Simplifying
1.8 + -3.7x = -4.2x + 0.3

Reorder the terms:
1.8 + -3.7x = 0.3 + -4.2x

Solving
1.8 + -3.7x = 0.3 + -4.2x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '4.2x' to each side of the equation.
1.8 + -3.7x + 4.2x = 0.3 + -4.2x + 4.2x

Combine like terms: -3.7x + 4.2x = 0.5x
1.8 + 0.5x = 0.3 + -4.2x + 4.2x

Combine like terms: -4.2x + 4.2x = 0.0
1.8 + 0.5x = 0.3 + 0.0
1.8 + 0.5x = 0.3

Add '-1.8' to each side of the equation.
1.8 + -1.8 + 0.5x = 0.3 + -1.8

Combine like terms: 1.8 + -1.8 = 0.0
0.0 + 0.5x = 0.3 + -1.8
0.5x = 0.3 + -1.8

Combine like terms: 0.3 + -1.8 = -1.5
0.5x = -1.5

Divide each side by '0.5'.
x = -3

Simplifying
x = -3
