Answer

x = -0.9

Step-by-step explanation

We are asked to solve the equation

0.6 (x + 2) = 0.55 (2x + 3)

0.6x + 1.2 = 1.10x + 1.65

We can rewrite the equation by changing the sides

1.1x + 1.65 = 0.6x + 1.2

1.1x - 0.6x = 1.2 - 1.65

0.5x = -0.45

Divide both sides by 0.5

(0.5x/0.5) = (-0.45/0.5)

x = -0.9

Hope this Helps!!!
