Answer: -12

Step-by-step explanation:

-(25/10)*(x-4)-(-3*x+4)=0

(0 - (5/2— • (x - 4))) - (4 - 3x) = 0

-5 • (x-4) - ((4-3x) • 2)/2 = x + 12/2

x+12 /2 • 2 = 0 • 2

-12

Answer:

x = -12

Explanation:

-2.5(x-4)=-3x+4

Distribute

-2.5x +10 = -3x +4

Add 3x to each side

-2.5x+10 +3x = -3x+4+3x

.5x +10 = 4

Subtract 10 from each side

.5x+10-10=4-10

.5x = -6

Divide by .5

.5x/.5 = -6/.5

x = -12
