Answer :
x = -4.125
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Distribute: -4x - 3 = 4/5x + 16.8
2. Get all the X's to one side. We'll add 4x to each side, cancelling out our -4x.
-3 = 4 and 4/5x (4.8x) + 16.8
3. Subtract 16.8 from both sides. -19.8 = 4 and 4/5x (4.8x).
4. Divide -19.8 by 4.8. -4.125 = x
5. x = -4.125
