0.7(3x+6) = 1.1 - (x-2)

0.7(3x+6) = 1.1 - (x-2)   Let's multiply both sides by 10 to clear the decimals

7(3x + 6) = 11 - 10(x-2)    simplify

21x + 42 = 11 - 10x + 20  combine any like terms

21x + 42 = 31 - 10x        add 10x to both sides and subtract 42 from both sides

31x = -11   divide both sides by 31

x = -11/31
