Question

What is the solution to the equation -2x + 4 = -2 when represented graphically?

A) x = 1
B) x = -1
C) x = 0
D) x = -2

Answer 1

The solution to the equation -2x + 4 = -2 is found by isolating x, leading to x = 3. None of the provided options are correct; the actual solution is not listed.

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution to the given equation -2x + 4 = -2 can be found by isolating x. We start by subtracting 4 from both sides to get:

-2x = -2 - 4

-2x = -6

To isolate x, we then divide both sides by -2:

x = -6 / (-2)

x = 3

Therefore, the solution represented graphically, when x = 3, the equation -2x + 4 = -2 holds true. None of the provided options A) x = 1, B) x = -1, C) x = 0, or D) x = -2 are correct; the actual answer is not listed.
