Answer:
The value of x = -13
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the expression
[tex]\frac{0.2x+1}{2}=-0.8[/tex]
Multiply both sides by 2
[tex]\frac{2\left(0.2x+1\right)}{2}=2\left(-0.8\right)[/tex]
simplify
[tex]0.2x+1=-1.6[/tex]
Subtract 1 from both sides
[tex]0.2x+1-1=-1.6-1[/tex]
Simplify
[tex]0.2x=-2.6[/tex]
Divide both sides by 0.2
[tex]\frac{0.2x}{0.2}=\frac{-2.6}{0.2}[/tex]
Simplify
[tex]x=-13[/tex]
Therefore, the value of x = -13
