How do you solve the equation?

\[ 0.15 - 0.2x = 0.3(x + 3) \]

Dude you distribute.3(x+3) That equals.3x+.9!!!!

The equation 0.15 - 0.2x = 0.3(x + 3) can be solved by distributing the 0.3 on the right side, rearranging the terms, and then dividing by the coefficient of x to get x = -1.5.
To solve the equation 0.15 - 0.2x = 0.3(x + 3), we will first distribute the 0.3 on the right side of the equation.
0.15 - 0.2x = 0.3x + 0.9
Next, we'll move all the x terms to one side and the constant terms to the other side.
0.15 - 0.9 = 0.3x + 0.2x
-0.75 = 0.5x
To find the value of x, we divide both sides of the equation by 0.5.
x = -0.75 / 0.5
x = -1.5
