Question

Solve for the value of x -

`5(4x-4)=-60`
Thanks! ^^​

Answer 1

x = -2

Explanation:

Divide both sides by 5 :

• 5/5 (4x - 4) = -60/5
• 4x - 4 = -12

Add 4 to both sides :

• 4x - 4 + 4 = -12 + 4
• 4x = -8

Divide both sides by 4 :

• 4x/4 = -8/4
• x = -2

Answer 2

x = -2

Explanation:

`20x - 20 = -60\\20x = -40\\x = -2`

hope this helped!!
