Reorder the terms:
-2.3(-1.2 + x) = -9.66
(-1.2 * -2.3 + x * -2.3) = -9.66
(2.76 + -2.3x) = -9.66
Solving
2.76 + -2.3x = -9.66
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-2.76' to each side of the equation.
2.76 + -2.76 + -2.3x = -9.66 + -2.76
Combine like terms: 2.76 + -2.76 = 0.00
0.00 + -2.3x = -9.66 + -2.76
-2.3x = -9.66 + -2.76
Combine like terms: -9.66 + -2.76 = -12.42
-2.3x = -12.42
Divide each side by '-2.3'.
x = 5.4
Simplifying
x = 5.4
