Answer: The simplified term, or answer, is x = -4 ( or negative 4)
Step-by-step explanation: If you want to evaluate the variable x, you'll need to work out the inverse operation. Yes, operations.
2/5x+4=-12 hmm
We could turn this into (-12 - 4) divided by 2/5x
2/5x is .4x, and after subtracting -12 by 4, you'll get -16.
-16 divided by .4x. You can divide -16 by .4 or simply multiply it by its reciprocal: one forth. This would give you -4, or negative 4.
