To solve for x, we need to isolate the variable by moving the constant term to the other side of the equation.
25(2x - 12) = -28
Divide both sides of the equation by 25.
2x - 12 = -28/25
Add 12 to both sides of the equation.
2x = -28/25 + 12
Simplify the fraction on the right side.
2x = (-28 + 300)/25
Combine like terms.
2x = 272/25
Divide both sides of the equation by 2.
x = (272/25)/2
Simplify the right side of the equation.
x = 272/50
Reduce the fraction.
x = 136/25
The solution for x is 136/25.
Therefore, the correct answer is not provided in the options.

Apologies for the confusion. Let's reevaluate the equation:
25(2x - 12) = -28
First, distribute the 25 to the terms inside the parentheses:
50x - 300 = -28
Next, move the constant term to the other side by adding 300 to both sides:
50x = -28 + 300
Simplifying:
50x = 272
Finally, divide both sides by 50 to solve for x:
x = 272/50
Simplifying the fraction:
x = 136/25
So, the correct answer is indeed x = 136/25. Apologies for the earlier confusion.
