What is the SOLUTION TO THIS EQUATION? -0.2(x- 20)= 44-x A. x= -90
B. x= -50
C. = 50
D.= 90

C.=50

Step-by-step explanation: Simplifying

-0.2(x + -20) = 44 + -1x

Reorder the terms:

-0.2(-20 + x) = 44 + -1x

(-20 * -0.2 + x * -0.2) = 44 + -1x

(4 + -0.2x) = 44 + -1x

Solving

4 + -0.2x = 44 + -1x

Solving for x

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add 'x' to each side of the equation.

4 + -0.2x + x = 44 + -1x + x

Combine like terms: -0.2x + x = 0.8x

4 + 0.8x = 44 + -1x + x

Combine like terms: -1x + x = 0

4 + 0.8x = 44 + 0

4 + 0.8x = 44

Add '-4' to each side of the equation.

4 + -4 + 0.8x = 44 + -4

Combine like terms: 4 + -4 = 0

0 + 0.8x = 44 + -4

0.8x = 44 + -4

Combine like terms: 44 + -4 = 40

0.8x = 40  

Divide each side by '0.8'.

x = 50

Simplifying

x = 50
