Question

does -3.2x=0.64 have the same answer as x/4= -0.05?

Answer 1

To determine if \(-3.2x = 0.64\) has the same solution as \(\frac{x}{4} = -0.05\), we need to solve both equations for \(x\).

1. For the first equation, \(-3.2x = 0.64\):

\[
x = \frac{0.64}{-3.2}
\]

Calculating that gives:

\[
x = \frac{0.64}{-3.2} = -0.2
\]

2. For the second equation, \(\frac{x}{4} = -0.05\):

\[
x = -0.05 \times 4 = -0.2
\]

Both equations yield the same solution, which is \(x = -0.2\).

So yes, \(-3.2x = 0.64\) and \(\frac{x}{4} = -0.05\) have the same answer.
