Answer: C.=50
Step-by-step explanation: Simplifying
-0.2(x + -20) = 44 + -1x
Reorder the terms:
-0.2(-20 + x) = 44 + -1x
(-20 * -0.2 + x * -0.2) = 44 + -1x
(4 + -0.2x) = 44 + -1x
Solving
4 + -0.2x = 44 + -1x
Solving for x
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add 'x' to each side of the equation.
4 + -0.2x + x = 44 + -1x + x
Combine like terms: -0.2x + x = 0.8x
4 + 0.8x = 44 + -1x + x
Combine like terms: -1x + x = 0
4 + 0.8x = 44 + 0
4 + 0.8x = 44
Add '-4' to each side of the equation.
4 + -4 + 0.8x = 44 + -4
Combine like terms: 4 + -4 = 0
0 + 0.8x = 44 + -4
0.8x = 44 + -4
Combine like terms: 44 + -4 = 40
0.8x = 40
Divide each side by '0.8'.
x = 50
Simplifying
x = 50
