Question

Solve the equation 2
16x + 20 = 0 to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

x=(-1.25)

Explanation:

16x+20=0

Subtract 20 from both sides

16x=(-20)

Divide 16 on both sides

x=(-1.25)

-1.25*16+20=0

-20+20=0

0=0

Answer 2

x ≈ - 1.3

Explanation:

16x + 20 = 0

16x + 20 - 20 = 0 - 20

16x = - 20

16x ÷ 16 = - 20 ÷ 16

x = - 1.25

`x=-1(1)/(4)`

- 1.25 rounds to - 1.3
