Question

How do i solve
-0.2(x-20)=44-x

Answer 1

Explanation:

ok, so you are going to multiply -0.2 times x and times -20, when you multiply -0,2 by x you will get -0.2x and -0.2 times -20 would be 4 so then you are gonna add x to -0.2x so you are going to get -1.2x then subtract 4 from 44 and then from there divide to x by itself

Answer 2

x=50

Explanation:

-0.2(x-20)=44-x

distribute

-.2 *x + -.2 * -20 = 44 -x

-.2x + 4 = 44 -x

add x to each side

-.2x+x + 4 = 44 -x+x

.8x+4 = 44

subtract 4 from each side

.8x+4-4 = 44-4

.8x = 40

divide by .8 on each side

.8x/.8 = 40/.8

x = 50
