$0.1 x - 0.2 = 3$

Move all terms not containing $x$ to the right side of the equation.

Tap for more steps…

Add $0.2$ to both sides of the equation.

$0.1 x = 3 + 0.2$

Add $3$ and $0.2$ .

$0.1 x = 3.2$

Divide each term by $0.1$ and simplify.

Tap for more steps…

Divide each term in $0.1 x = 3.2$ by $0.1$ .

$\frac{0.1 x}{0.1} = \frac{3.2}{0.1}$

Cancel the common factor of $0.1$ .

$x = \frac{3.2}{0.1}$

Divide $3.2$ by $0.1$ .

$x = 32$
