Question

11. What is the solution to

-2.5(4x-4)= -6?
x=

Answer 1

-2.5. or - 2.5= they are the same

Answer 2

`-2.5(4x-4)= -6`

Distribute:

`(-2.5)(4x)+(-2.5)(-4)=-6`

`-10x+10=-6`

Subtract 10 from both sides:

`-10x+10-10=-6-10`

`-10x=-16`

Divide both sides by -10:

`(-10x)/(-10) =(-16)/(-10)`

`\fbox{x = $(8)/(5) $}`
