Answer 14

haha this made me crack up a little, anyways 2/5 (x - 4) = 2x why dont we first start off breaking down the multiple answears. Well, lets eliminate B because we know its not that for sure. Were left with A,C,D, We know its going to be a positive answear due to you cant subtract two negatives. You need a positive and a negative. So what does that give us? eliminate A,B,D and all we have is C. So, C is the answear to your queston. Hope this helped out mate. Good luck

Answer 15

lol ok XD bye @HelpOfTheGods

Answer 16

thanks @-StudyShark- !

Answer 17

2/5 (x-4) = 2x

multiply both sides by 5 to get rid of the fraction

2(x-4) = 10 x

distribute

2x -8 = 10 x

-8 = 8 x

x = -1

check

2/5(-5) =? -2

-2 = -2
