First, distribute the terms on both sides:
$$6.6 - 2.6x - 11.44 = 9 - 5x - 10$$
Combine like terms:
$$-2.6x - 4.84 = -5x - 1$$
Add $2.6x$ to both sides:
$$-4.84 = 2.4x - 1$$
Add 1 to both sides:
$$-3.84 = 2.4x$$
Multiply by $\frac{1}{2.4}$ on both sides:
$$x = -1.6$$
Therefore, the answer is C.

Solve - 6.6−2.6(x+4.4)=9−5(x+2)6.6 - 2.6 ( x + 4.4 ) = 9 - 5 ( x + 2 )6.6−2.6(x+4.4)=9−5(x+2)

Solve
- $6.6 - 2.6 ( x + 4.4 ) = 9 - 5 ( x + 2 )$
