Multiply both sides by 10 to remove the decimal of each term

Distribute and multiply (or just simply move the decimal one place to the right for each term)

Combine the variable terms 25x and 17x on the left side to get 42x

Add 75 to both sides

Subtract 108x from both sides

Combine like terms and on the left side to get

Combine like terms 75 and 162 on the left side to get 237

Now divide both sides by -66 to isolate and solve for x

Reduce

So our answer is

which is in decimal form
