Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-0.08x' to each side of the equation.
-0.03 + 0.03x + -0.08x = -1.6 + 0.08x + -0.08x

Combine like terms: 0.03x + -0.08x = -0.05x
-0.03 + -0.05x = -1.6 + 0.08x + -0.08x

Combine like terms: 0.08x + -0.08x = 0.00
-0.03 + -0.05x = -1.6 + 0.00
-0.03 + -0.05x = -1.6

Add '0.03' to each side of the equation.
-0.03 + 0.03 + -0.05x = -1.6 + 0.03

Combine like terms: -0.03 + 0.03 = 0.00
0.00 + -0.05x = -1.6 + 0.03
-0.05x = -1.6 + 0.03

Combine like terms: -1.6 + 0.03 = -1.57
-0.05x = -1.57

Divide each side by '-0.05'.
x = 31.4

Simplifying
x = 31.4
