Answer:


\Huge \boxed{\boxed{\bf{x = -29}}}

Explanation:

To solve the equation
\tt{-0.47x + 0.27x = 5.8} for
\tt{x}, we need to combine like terms on the left side of the equation.

Combining the
\tt{x} terms, we have:


  • \tt{(-0.47 + 0.27)x = 5.8}

Simplifying the coefficients, we get:


  • \tt{(-0.2)x = 5.8}

Now, we can isolate
\tt{x} by dividing both sides of the equation by -0.2:


  • \tt{x = (5.8)/(-0.2) }

Performing the division, we have:


  • \tt{x = -29}

Therefore, the solution to the equation is
\tt{x = -29}.
