What is the value of x in the equation 0.2(x
1. 0.5x = –0.3(x – 4)?

X=1.5

To get this answer you must distribute the -0.3 to the x and -4 in the parentheses.  Once you distribute you should have .5x= -.3x+1.2. Next you add together both x's to get .8x=1.2. Divide .8 on both sides to get x=1.5.

the author develops a cold, and scared tone. making the reader shudder with fear, and suddenly become cold. i'm guessing that he's writing a scary novel, or maybe about a chilly december night.
