50(4x+12)=−200
50(4x+12)=-200
Distribute the 50 on the left side of the equation:
200x + 600 = -200
Now subtract 600 from both sides of the equation:
200x = -800
Finally, divide both sides of the equation by 200:
x = -4
Distribute the 50 on the left side of the equation:
200x + 600 = -200
Now subtract 600 from both sides of the equation:
200x = -800
Finally, divide both sides of the equation by 200:
x = -4
