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.
