Question

* 2x+50=0 How much is X

Answer 1

Answer: x =-25

Step-by-step explanation: To solve this equation for x, we must first isolate the term containing x which in this case is 2x.

Since 50 is being added to 2x, we have to subtract 50 from the left side of the equation. Remember that whatever you do to one side, you must also do to the other so we will subtract 50 from the right side too.

On the left side of the equation, the +5 and -5 cancel out and we have 2x and on the right side of the equation 0 - 50 is -50.

So we have 2x = -50.

Now, to get x by itself since x is being multiplied by 2, we need to divide by 2 on both sides of the equation. On the left side of the equation the 2's cancel and we're simply left with x and on the right side of the equation -50 divided by 2 is -25 so x = -25 which is the solution to our equation.

Answer 2

Answer:

-25

Step-by-step explanation:

                      2x + 50 = 0

                               2x = 0 - 50

                                     = -50

                                   x = -50 / 2

                                      = -25

Hope this helps
