Solve for x.

50(4x+12)=−200

1 answer

To solve for x, we will first distribute the 50 on the left side of the equation:

200x + 600 = -200

Next, we will isolate the variable x by subtracting 600 from both sides:

200x = -800

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

x = -800/200

x = -4

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = -4.
