To solve this equation, we first distribute the 0.3 to both terms inside the parentheses:

0.3(8.8) + 0.3(6.1x) + 2.36 = 3.83x

2.64 + 1.83x + 2.36 = 3.83x

Next, we combine like terms:

4.00 + 1.83x = 3.83x

Subtracting 1.83x from both sides:

4.00 = 2.00x

Finally, divide by 2 on both sides to solve for x:

x = 2.00
