We like to have the variable by itself in the left side. There are various tricks to do this.
0.15-2x=1.15
put changes in the next line
always do the same thing to both sides of the equation
0.15-2x=1.15
subtract .15 from both sides
-2x=1.15 - .15
-2x = 1
multiply by-1
2x = -1
Divide by 2
X = - 1/2
Hope this helps
