Solving
-2.6 + 0.9x = 0.2 + 0.04x

Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Add '-0.04x' to each side of the equation.
-2.6 + 0.9x + -0.04x = 0.2 + 0.04x + -0.04x

Combine like terms: 0.9x + -0.04x = 0.86x
-2.6 + 0.86x = 0.2 + 0.04x + -0.04x

Combine like terms: 0.04x + -0.04x = 0.00
-2.6 + 0.86x = 0.2 + 0.00
-2.6 + 0.86x = 0.2

Add '2.6' to each side of the equation.
-2.6 + 2.6 + 0.86x = 0.2 + 2.6

Combine like terms: -2.6 + 2.6 = 0.0
0.0 + 0.86x = 0.2 + 2.6
0.86x = 0.2 + 2.6

Combine like terms: 0.2 + 2.6 = 2.8
0.86x = 2.8

Divide each side by '0.86'.
x = 3.255813953

Simplifying
x = 3.255813953
