Question

Solve for X

10 ( x-2 ) = -20

A) Infinite Solutions
B) x = 0
C) x = 1
D) No Solutions

Answer 1

B) x = 0

Explanation:

Let the unknown number be represented by x.

As per the given equation,

`\[10 * (x-2) = -20\]`

Solving the equation,

`\[=> 10x-20 = -20\]`

`\[=> 10x = -20+20\]`

`\[=> 10x = 0\]`

`\[=> x = 0\]`

This means that the given equation does have a solution and it has one and only one solution.

Hence among the given options the required answer is B) x = 0

Answer 2

Answer: x = 0

Step-by-step explanation: To solve for x in this equation, our first step is to simplify the left side by distributing the 10 through both terms inside the parentheses.

When we do that, we get 10 times x which is 10x

and 10 times -2 which is -20.

So we have 10x - 20 = -20.

Adding 20 to both sides, we get 10x = 0.

Divide both sides by 10 and x = 0.
