Answer 1

`\huge \: x = - 5417.33`

Explanation:

`0.75 (x + 200) = 150.5 (2 – 28) \\`

Expand the terms and simplify

That's

`0.75x + 150 = 301 - 4214 \\ 0.75x + 150 = - 3913`

Subtract 150 from both sides of the equation

`0.75x + 150 - 150 = - 3913 - 150 \\ 0.75x = - 4063`

Divide both sides by 0.75

`(0.75x)/(0.75) = - (4063)/(0.75) \\ x = - 5417.333333`

We have the final answer as

x = - 5417.33

Hope this helps you
