Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

-1.6 - 2x = 5x + 0.9

Step 2: Solve for x

1. Add 2x on both sides:                    -1.6 = 7x + 0.9
2. Subtract 0.9 on both sides:           2.5 = 7x
3. Divide 7 on both sides:                  0.357143 = x
4. Rewrite:                                           x = 0.357143
