What is the solution to the equation -0.2(x - 20) = 44 - x? x = -90 x = 50 x = -50 x = 90

x= 50

Step-by-step explanation:

First, simplify the equation

Expand the terms on the left hand side to make it easier to rearrange

   -0.2(x-20) =44-x

   -0.2x+4 =44-x

Rearrange the equation by moving the numbers to one side and the variables to the other

   -0.2x +x= 44-4

    0.8x = 40

Isolate for x

    x= 40/0.8

    x= 50

step-by-step explanation:

(s)he  is right it would be 5.5% because it is smaller than 15.5% or anything smaller than 15.5% in general
