Answer 2

To solve the equation \( 50(4x + 12) = -200 \), follow these steps:

1. **Distribute the 50**:
\[
50 \times 4x + 50 \times 12 = -200
\]
which simplifies to:
\[
200x + 600 = -200
\]

2. **Subtract 600 from both sides**:
\[
200x + 600 - 600 = -200 - 600
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
200x = -800
\]

3. **Divide both sides by 200**:
\[
x = \frac{-800}{200}
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
x = -4
\]

So the solution is \( x = -4 \).

The correct response is:
**x = -4**.

Answer 3

To solve the equation \( 1.5 - x = -4.5 \), follow these steps:

1. **Subtract 1.5 from both sides**:
\[
-x = -4.5 - 1.5
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
-x = -6
\]

2. **Multiply both sides by -1**:
\[
x = 6
\]

So the solution is \( x = 6 \).

The correct response is:
**x = 6**.
