Question

What is the solution of 14 − 0.04x = 17.8? A. 95 B. 165 C. −165 D. −95

Answer 1

x = -95

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve 14-0.04x=17.8 for the value of x.

Subtracting both sides by 17.8

14-0.04x-17.8=17.8-17.8

-3.8-0.04x=0

-3.8=0.04x

`x=(-3.8)/(0.04)\\\\x=-95`

So, the solution of given equation is -95. Hence, the correct option is (d).
