a-0.3a%2B1.5=0.6%28a-4.1%29....multiply-on the right side

a-0.3a%2B1.5=0.6a-4.1%280.6%29%29

a-0.3a%2B1.5=0.6a-2.46%29...all terms with a move left, others to the right

a-0.3a-0.6a=-2.46-1.5%29

a%281-0.3-0.6%29=-3.96%29

a%281-0.9%29=-3.96%29

a%280.1%29=-3.96%29

a=-3.96%2F%280.1%29%29

a=-39.6%29
