Your math problem:0.5(2x+2)=-4

Simplify both sides of the equation:
0.5(2x+2)=-4
Distribute: (0.5) (2x) + (0.5) (2) = -4
You will get x + 1 = -4 (subtract from both sides.)
x=-5
0.5(2*-5+2)=4 <- that was the check
So now you know you’re correct!!
So that’s you’re final answer
x= -5
Hope I helped!!

0.5(2x+2)=-4

Multiply by 2 on both sides

2x+2=-8

Subtract 2 on both sides

2x=-10

Divide by 2 on both sides

x=-5

Robert slices a large loaf of bread to make 12 sandwiches. He made 3 turkey sandwiches and 5 veggie sandwiches. The rest are ham

lions [1.4K]

We already know that there are 12 sandwiches.

If there are 3 turkey and 5 veggie then there's 8 out of 12 sandwiches that aren't ham.

12 sandwiches - 8 non-ham sandwiches = 4 ham sandwiches

Now we know there are 4/12 ham sandwiches

We need to simplify this now.
4/12 can be divided by 4

4 goes into 4 1 time and 4 goes into 12 3 times making the answer 1/3

1/3 of the sandwiches are ham.
