Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define equation

0.2x + 1 = 1.6x + 3.1

Step 2: Solve for x

Subtract 0.2x on both sides:          1 = 1.4x + 3.1Subtract 3.1 on both sides:             -2.1 = 1.4xDivide both sides by 1.4:                 -1.5 = xRewrite:                                            x = -1.5

Step 3: Check

Plug in x to verify it's a solution.

Substitution:                    0.2(-1.5) + 1 = 1.6(-1.5) + 3.1Multiply:                           -0.3 + 1 = -2.4 + 3.1Add:                                 0.7 = 0.7
