literally, make an equation:

20.6 + 2.1x = -8.2x

left has two terms. you want to simplify the terms given in the equation.

Move -8.2x to left, (change sign of the term) or:

20.6 + 2.1x -2.1x = -8.2x -2.1x

20.6 = -10.3x

both sides need to be divided by -10.3 to solve for x:

20.6/(-10.3) = -10.3x /(-10.3)

-2 = x

You solved for x : x= -2
