Question

Solve for X

Answer 1

Answer: x = 0

Step-by-step explanation: To solve for x in this equation, our first step is to simplify the left side by distributing the 10 through both terms inside the parentheses.

When we do that, we get 10 times x which is 10x

and 10 times -2 which is -20.

So we have 10x - 20 = -20.

Adding 20 to both sides, we get 10x = 0.

Divide both sides by 10 and x = 0.

Answer 2

Answer:

B) x = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the unknown number be represented by x.

As per the given equation,

$\[10 * (x-2) = -20\]$

Solving the equation,

$\[=> 10x-20 = -20\]$

$\[=> 10x = -20+20\]$

$\[=> 10x = 0\]$

$\[=> x = \frac{0]{10}\]$

$\[=> x = 0\]$

This means that the given equation does have a solution and it has one and only one solution.

Hence among the given options the required answer is B) x = 0
