solve the x
50(4x+12)=-200
To solve for x, we will first simplify the equation by distributing the 50 to each term inside the parentheses:
50 * 4x + 50 * 12 = -200
This simplifies to:
200x + 600 = -200
Next, we will isolate the variable x by subtracting 600 from both sides:
200x = -200 - 600
200x = -800
Finally, we can solve for x by dividing both sides by 200:
x = -800/200
x = -4
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = -4.
