Answer 1

Answer:

$x = \dfrac{-65}{ 1 9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\dfrac{-2 - 4x}{3} = \dfrac{x - 1}{4} + 5$

$\implies \dfrac{-2 - 4x}{3} - \dfrac{x - 1}{4} = 5$

$\implies\dfrac{4( - 2 - 4x) - 3(x - 1)}{12} = 5$

$\implies \dfrac{ - 8 - 16x - 3x + 3}{12} = 5$

$\implies \dfrac{ - 5 - 19x}{12} = 5$

$\implies - 5 - 19x = 12 \times 5$

$\implies - 5 - 19x = 60$

$\implies - 19x = 60 + 5$

$\implies - 19x = 65$

$\implies x = \dfrac{65}{ -1 9}$

$\implies x = \dfrac{-65}{ 1 9}$

Therefore Option (B) is correct. ✓
