Solve for $x$ : $$-0.3=-3(-4 x+5.2)-2 x$$ Answer Attempt 4 out of 4

Studdy Solution
Verify the solution by substituting $x = 1.53$ back into the original equation:
$$-0.3 = -3(-4(1.53) + 5.2) - 2(1.53)$$
Calculate inside the parentheses:
$$-4(1.53) = -6.12$$
$$-6.12 + 5.2 = -0.92$$
Substitute back:
$$-0.3 = -3(-0.92) - 3.06$$
Calculate each term:
$$-3(-0.92) = 2.76$$
$$2.76 - 3.06 = -0.3$$
Both sides are equal, confirming our solution.
The solution is:
$$\boxed{1.53}$$
