What is the SOLUTION TO THIS EQUATION? -0.2(x- 20)= 44-x A. x= -90
B. x= -50
C. = 50
D.= 90

C.=50

Step-by-step explanation: Simplifying

-0.2(x + -20) = 44 + -1x

Reorder the terms:

-0.2(-20 + x) = 44 + -1x

(-20 * -0.2 + x * -0.2) = 44 + -1x

(4 + -0.2x) = 44 + -1x

Solving

4 + -0.2x = 44 + -1x

Solving for x

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add 'x' to each side of the equation.

4 + -0.2x + x = 44 + -1x + x

Combine like terms: -0.2x + x = 0.8x

4 + 0.8x = 44 + -1x + x

Combine like terms: -1x + x = 0

4 + 0.8x = 44 + 0

4 + 0.8x = 44

Add '-4' to each side of the equation.

4 + -4 + 0.8x = 44 + -4

Combine like terms: 4 + -4 = 0

0 + 0.8x = 44 + -4

0.8x = 44 + -4

Combine like terms: 44 + -4 = 40

0.8x = 40  

Divide each side by '0.8'.

x = 50

Simplifying

x = 50

step-by-step explanation:

always plug in x. in this case, x equals 4.

i'm going to first solve 4(2+3x)

1) 4(2+3(4)) use pemdas to solve.

i'm going to multiply whats in the parenthesis first, so 3 times 4=12.

2)4 (2+12) i'm then going to multiply 4 by both numbers in the parenthesis (because multiplying comes before adding)

4 times 2= 8.   4 times 12= 48

4) (8+48)= 56 (answer)

i'm then going to solve 8+12x and plug in 4 for x.

1) 8 +12(4)

multiplying comes before adding, so i'm gonna multiply 12 and 4.

12 times 4= 48.

2) 8+48=56

both equal the same!

i think it is c, not positive though
