Answer:

x = -0.43

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve the following equation:


x-7.5=18.45x

So, subtracting x from both sides, we get:


\begin{gathered} x-7.5-x=18.45x-x \\ -7.5=17.45x \end{gathered}

Then, dividing both sides by 17.45, we get:


\begin{gathered} (-7.5)/(17.45)=(17.45x)/(17.45) \\ -0.43=x \end{gathered}

Therefore, the solution of the equation is:

x = -0.43
