Answer:
0.05x-2
Step-by-step explanation:
0.05 times x is 0.05x
-40 times 0.05 is -2
put it together and it is 0.05x-2
The number equivalent to the given expression will be "40".
Given:
- [tex]0.05(x-40)[/tex]
By solving the brackets of applying multiplication, we get
→ [tex]0.05(x -40)=0[/tex]
→ [tex]0.05x-2 =0[/tex]
By adding "2" both sides, we get
→ [tex]0.05x-2+2 = 2[/tex]
→ [tex]0.05x = 2[/tex]
[tex]x= \frac{2}{0.05}[/tex]
[tex]= 40[/tex]
Thus the above approach is right.
