Question 154055
{{{1.5x + 2.83 = -.407x -.259}}}
{{{1.5x + 0.407x+ 2.83 = -.407x + 0.407x -.259}}}  (add 0.407x to both sides)
{{{1.907x + 2.83 = -0.259}}}
{{{1.907x + 2.83 - 2.83 = -0.259 -2.83}}}   (subtract 2.83 from both sides)
{{{1.907x = -3.089}}}
{{{x = (-3.089)/1.907}}}        (divide both sides by 1.907)
{{{x = -1.62}}}
