To solve the equation, we can isolate the variable x.

Starting with the given equation: 0.2x - 2.15 = -8.27

Next, we can add 2.15 to both sides of the equation to eliminate the -2.15 on the left side:

0.2x - 2.15 + 2.15 = -8.27 + 2.15

Simplifying, we get: 0.2x = -6.12

To get x by itself, we divide both sides of the equation by 0.2:

0.2x / 0.2 = -6.12 / 0.2

Simplifying further, we have: x = -30.6

Therefore, the solution to the equation is -30.6.
