Question

Solve for x: 1/2(4x+8)=-40

Answer 1

x = -22

Explanation:

Now we have to,

→ Find the required value of x.

The equation is,

→ (1/2)(4x + 8) = -40

Then the value of x will be,

→ (1/2)(4x + 8) = -40

→ (4x + 8)/2 = -40

→ (4x/2) + (8/2) = -40

→ 2x + 4 = -40

→ 2x = -40 - 4

→ 2x = -44

→ x = -44/2

→ [ x = -22 ]

Hence, the value of x is -22.
