Final answer:

The correct formula to solve for x in the equation (cx + 1 = b) using the provided constants is x = (b - 1) / c, which is not listed among the provided options.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the equation (cx + 1 = b) for x, we follow algebraic procedures to isolate x. Given the constants a = 1.00, b = 10.0, and c = -200, we aim to find the correct formula for x among the provided options.

Firstly, subtract 1 from both sides of the equation:

Now, divide both sides by c to solve for x:

Since c is not being subtracted or added inside the parentheses, the correct formula for x using the given constants would be x = (b - 1) / c, which is none of the given options (a to d).
