Respuesta :
Isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don't contain the variable.
Answer:
x=12.5
Answer:
x=12.5
Answer with explanation:
Distributive property of multiplication with respect to Addition and multiplication with respect to subtraction
1. a × (b +c)= a × b + a × c
2. a × (b - c)= a × b - a × c
We have to solve the equality
→ -0.2×(x-4)= -1.7
Using Distributive property of multiplication with respect to Subtraction
⇒-0.2 x +(-0.2)×(-4)= -1.7
⇒-0.2 x +0.8= -1.7
⇒ -0.2 x+0.8-0.8= -1.7 -0.8
⇒ -0.2 x= -2.5
Cancelling negative sign from both sides, gives
0.2 x= 2.5
[tex]x=\frac{2.5}{0.2}\\\\x=12.5[/tex]
Correct Method, to solve the equation using the distributive property.
