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.

x = -6
x = -6

x = 6
x = 6

x = -3
x = -3

x = 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.
