Question

-25 = 1/2 (10x - 2) + 3x what is x?

Answer 1

x=
`-(1+2i√(31) )/(5)`

Explanation:

Answer 2

-3

Explanation:

−25=
`(1)/(2)` (10x−2)+3x

−25=(
`(1)/(2)`)(10x)+(
`(1)/(2)` )(−2)+3x(Distribute)

−25=5x+−1+3x

−25=(5x+3x)+(−1)(Combine Like Terms)

−25=8x+−1

−25=8x−1

Step 2: Flip the equation.

8x−1=−25

Step 3: Add 1 to both sides.

8x−1+1=−25+1

8x=−24

Step 4: Divide both sides by 8.

8x ÷ 8 = −24 ÷ 8
