Question
Solve the equation
x=−113
Alternative Form
x=−0.2˙7˙
Evaluate
−2x−6=2x×10
Multiply the terms
−2x−6=20x
Move the variable to the left side
−2x−6−20x=0
Subtract the terms
More Steps

Evaluate
−2x−20x
Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients
(−2−20)x
Subtract the numbers
−22x
−22x−6=0
Move the constant to the right side
−22x=0+6
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−22x=6
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
22x=−6
Divide both sides
2222x=22−6
Divide the numbers
x=22−6
