Question

What is the solution to -2.5(4x -4) = -6?

Answer 1

x = 1.6

Explanation:

given the equation

- 2.5(4x - 4) = - 6 ← distribute the parenthesis on left side by - 2.5

- 10x + 10 = - 6 ( subtract 10 from both sides )

- 10x + 10 - 10 = - 6 - 10 ( simplify both sides )

- 10x = - 16 ( divide both sides by - 10 )

`(-10)/(-10)` x =
`(-16)/(-10)` , then

x = 1.6
