Question

−1/5(x−4)=−2 Please help me fast

Answer 1

x=14

Explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

−1/5(x−4)=−2

(−1/5)(x)+(−1/5)(−4)=−2(Distribute)

−1/5x+4/5=−2

Step 2: Subtract 4/5 from both sides.

−1/5x+4/5−4/5=−2−4/5

−1/5x=−14/5

Step 3: Multiply both sides by 5/(-1).

(5/−1)*(−1/5x)=(5/−1)*(−14/5)
