Solve the equation 2 = -6 – 20x for x.

a. -5/2
b. -2/5
c. 2/5
d. 5/2

Hello there! B. -2/5.

To solve for x, you want to get x alone and isolate all other terms.

2 = -6 – 20x  - Start by adding 6 to both sides of the equation.

2+6 = -6+6 – 20x ⇒ 8 = -20x

8 = -20x - Next, divide both sides of the equation by -20..

8/-20 = -20/-20x ⇒ -8/20 = x

Now, we have -8/20 as our value for x. The last step is to simplify. Since 8 and 20 are both divisible by 4, divide both sides of the fraction by 4.

x = -2/5. This is your final answer. I hope this helps and have a great day! ~ saturns

answer: the value should be used for i in the formula of calculation the monthly payment , the interest rate per period is 0.85.

step-by-step explanation:

the given rate of interest i= 85%

in calculating the monthly payment for a loan with an interest rate compounded monthly, the value of the interest rate per period we use in the formula must be in decimal form.

to convert it in decimal, we divide it by 100, we get

hence, the value should be used for i in the formula of calculation the monthly payment , the interest rate per period is 0.85.

5/20 so 25%
