To solve for x, we will first distribute the 50 to the terms inside the parentheses.
The equation will then become:
200x + 600 = -200
Next, we will isolate the x term by subtracting 600 from both sides of the equation:
200x = -800
Finally, to solve for x, we divide both sides of the equation by 200:
x = -800/200
Which simplifies to:
x = -4
solve for x
50 (4x + 12) = -200
