To solve the equation 0.2x - 2.15 = -8.27, we need to isolate x.

First, we can add 2.15 to both sides of the equation to get rid of the -2.15 on the left side:

0.2x - 2.15 + 2.15 = -8.27 + 2.15

Simplifying, we have:

0.2x = -6.12

Next, we can divide both sides of the equation by 0.2 to solve for x:

0.2x/0.2 = -6.12/0.2

Simplifying further, we get:

x = -30.6

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = -30.6.
