SOLUTION: hey trying to solve this: -0.5(0.3x-0.6)=-1.5
-0.5x0.3x=-1.5 then -0.5x-0.6=-3.0 then -1.5x(0.3)=-1.5 then I took -0.3 out from both sides was left with -1.5x=-1.8 need help am I

-0.5(0.3x-0.6) = -1.5
-----
I don't like decimal, so let's multiply both sides by 10 to get:
---
-5(0.3x-0.6) = -15
---
Divide both sides by -5 to get:
0.3x-0.6 = 3
---
Multiply thru by 10 to get:
3x - 6 = 30
3x = 36
x = 12
