Question

what is the answer for this eqaution 2(x-1)=-4

Answer 1

Answer:

$\Huge\boxed{X=-1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, first, you have to isolate it on one side of the equation. Remember to solve this problem, isolate x on one side of the equation.

2(x-1)=-4

First, divide by 2 from both sides.

$\displaystyle \mathsf{\frac{2(x-1)}{2}=\frac{-4}{2}  }}$

-4/2 (Solve.)

-4/2=-2

x-1=-2

Then, add 1 from both sides.

$\displaystyle \mathsf{x-1+1=-2+1}$

-2+1 (Solve.)

-2+1=-1

$\Rightarrow \Large\boxed{\mathsf{X=-1}}$

In conclusion, the correct answer is x=-1.
