What is 0.1x = 0.2(x+2)

0.1x = 0.2(x + 2)

First, divide both sides by 0.1 / Your problem should look like: x = 2(x + 2)
Second, expand. / Your problem should look like: x = 2x + 4
Third, subtract 2x from both sides. / Your problem should look like: x - 2x = 4
Fourth, simplify x - 2x to -x. / Your problem should look like: -x = 4
Fifth, multiply both sides by -1. / Your problem should look like: x = -4

 x = -4
