x = 4
x = 4

x = -4
x = -4

x = 2
x = 2

x = -2

Answer 1

To solve for x, we can start by simplifying the equation:

50(4x + 12) = -200

First, distribute the 50 to both terms inside the parentheses:

200x + 600 = -200

Next, subtract 600 from both sides of the equation to isolate the variable term:

200x = -800

Finally, divide both sides of the equation by 200 to solve for x:

x = -4

Therefore, the solution is x = -4.
