Hello there! B. -2/5.
To solve for x, you want to get x alone and isolate all other terms.
2 = -6 – 20x - Start by adding 6 to both sides of the equation.
2+6 = -6+6 – 20x ⇒ 8 = -20x
8 = -20x - Next, divide both sides of the equation by -20..
8/-20 = -20/-20x ⇒ -8/20 = x
Now, we have -8/20 as our value for x. The last step is to simplify. Since 8 and 20 are both divisible by 4, divide both sides of the fraction by 4.
x = -2/5. This is your final answer. I hope this helps and have a great day! ~ saturns
