hard to see the answers on the screen with the glare but the answer is 2.4 so I would say if there is a choice between 2 and 3 that would be the answer
Answer:
x = - 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
- 5(x - 2) - (x + 2) = 50 ← distribute parenthesis on left side
- 5x + 10 - x - 2 = 50, that is
- 6x + 8 = 50 ( subtract 8 from both sides )
- 6x = 42 ( divide both sides by - 6 )
x = - 7
