Question

1408 = 38 - 2x * 50 - 2x​

Answer 1

Answer:

2 . 86

Step-by-step explanation:

38 - 2x × 50 - 2x = 1408

( 38 - 2x ) ( 50 - 2x ) = 1408

1900 - 76x - 100x + 4x = 1408

- 76x - 100x + 4x = 1408 - 1900

- 172x = - 492

x = 492 / 172

x = 2.86

Answer 2

Given: $1408 = 38 - 2x \times 50 - 2x$

We have to solve the above equation.

1. By using the concept of equation shifting, we are solving the above equation.  
2. For this, we will separate the variables on one side and the constant on another side.  
3. Then, we will simplify the equation.  

We are solving in the following way:  

We have,

$1408 = 38 - 2x \times 50 - 2x$

$=>1408=38-100x-2x\\=>1408=38-102x\\=>1408-38=-102x\\\\=>1370=-102x\\\\=>\frac{1370}{-102} =x$

Solving the above equation further we get,

$=>x=-13.431$

Hence, the solution of the above equation is $\frac{1370}{-102}$or$-13.431$.

Note: In this question, we are assuming that we have to solve the above expression.
