Answer:
x = -3.25
Step-by-step explanation:
2/5 = 0.4
0.4x - 0.2 = -2(3/4)
-2(3/4) = -2/1 * 3/4 = -6/4
0.4x - 0.2 = -6/4
Convert to fraction
2/5x - 1/5 = -6/4
Add 1/5 to both sides
-6/4 + 1/5 = -30/20 + 4/20 = -26/20
2/5x = -26/20
Convert to decimal
0.4x = -1.3
-1.3/0.4 = -3.25
x = -3.25
The answer is A because that information they gave to you
When you expand the equation, you will have
9x + 9=25 + x
Next you have to collect like terms
+x will go over the equality sign to become -x. The same applies to +9
9x - x=23 - 9
9x minus x is 8x
8x=14
Divide both sides by 8
x=14/8
You will have 1 6/8
6 is the remainder while 1 is the number of times 8 divided 14.
In decimal, it will be 1.75
Hope that helped. Good luck
