Solve for x -9-2(3.2x-9)+2x=-4.9x

$- 9 - 2 (3.2 x - 9) + 2 x = - 4.9 x$

Simplify $- 9 - 2 (3.2 x - 9) + 2 x$ .

Simplify each term.

Apply the distributive property.

$- 9 - 2 (3.2 x) - 2 \cdot - 9 + 2 x = - 4.9 x$

Multiply $3.2$ by $- 2$ .

$- 9 - 6.4 x - 2 \cdot - 9 + 2 x = - 4.9 x$

Multiply $- 2$ by $- 9$ .

$- 9 - 6.4 x + 18 + 2 x = - 4.9 x$

Simplify by adding terms.

Add $- 9$ and $18$ .

$- 6.4 x + 9 + 2 x = - 4.9 x$

Add $- 6.4 x$ and $2 x$ .

$- 4.4 x + 9 = - 4.9 x$

Move all terms containing $x$ to the left side of the equation.

Add $4.9 x$ to both sides of the equation.

$- 4.4 x + 9 + 4.9 x = 0$

Add $- 4.4 x$ and $4.9 x$ .

$0.5 x + 9 = 0$

Subtract $9$ from both sides of the equation.

$0.5 x = - 9$

Divide each term in $0.5 x = - 9$ by $0.5$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $0.5 x = - 9$ by $0.5$ .

$\frac{0.5 x}{0.5} = \frac{- 9}{0.5}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $0.5$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{0.5 x}{0.5} = \frac{- 9}{0.5}$

Divide $x$ by $1$ .

$x = \frac{- 9}{0.5}$

Simplify the right side.

Divide $- 9$ by $0.5$ .

$x = - 18$
