Could someone me solve this multi-step equation? 2/5x + 4 = -12

x = -40

Step-by-step explanation:

2/5x + 4 = -12

        -4      -4

2/5x = -16

(5)        (5)

2x = -80

/2      /2

x = -40

The simplified term, or answer, is x = -4 ( or negative 4)

Step-by-step explanation: If you want to evaluate the variable x, you'll need to work out the inverse operation. Yes, operations.

2/5x+4=-12 hmm

We could turn this into (-12 - 4) divided by 2/5x

2/5x is .4x, and after subtracting -12 by 4, you'll get -16.

-16 divided by .4x. You can divide -16 by .4 or simply multiply it by its reciprocal: one forth. This would give you -4, or negative 4.

14

step-by-step explanation:

14 x 3 = 42
