You asked:

Solve the equation \(5 \cdot \left(2.5 x + 9\right) = -17.5 - 6.5 x\) for the variable \(x\).

MathBot Answer:

The solution is: \[x = - \frac{125}{38} = -3.2\overline{894736842105263157}\]


\[\begin{aligned}12.5 x + 45 &= -6.5 x - 17.5\\19 x &= -62.5\\x &= - \frac{125}{38}\end{aligned}\]
