Answer:
A) -50
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equation -2/5 x - 2 = 18
Here we have to find the value of x.
Step 1: Isolate the constant.
Add 2 on both sides, we get
-2/5x - 2 + 2 = 18 +2
-2/5x = 20
Step 2: Multiply both sides by the reciprocal of -2/5
The reciprocal of -2/5 is -5/2
x = 20 * -5/2
x = -100/2
x = -50
Answer: x = -50
