Question

What is the value of x in the equation below?

What is the solution to the equation
-2.5(x-4)=-3x+4?
x=-28
x=-12
x=12
x=28

Answer 1

x= -12

Explanation:

-2.5(x-4)=-3x+4

-2.5x+10=-3x+4

-2.5x+3x=-10+4

0.5x=-6

Divide by 0.5x/0.5 you cancel these two numbers.

-6/0.5 = -12

x= -12

I hope it helps. Let me know.

Answer 2

B) x = -12

Explanation:

[Given] -2.5(x-4) = -3x + 4

[Distibute] -2.5x + 10 = -3x + 4

[Subtract 4 from both sides] -2.5x + 6 = -3x

[Add 2.5x to both sides] 6 = -0.5x

[Divide both sides by -0.5] -12 = x
