B:
C:
D:
Correct Answer
A
Explanation
To solve for x in the equation 8x - 2 = 2/25, we can follow these steps:1. Add 2 to both sides of the equation to isolate the term with x: 8x - 2 + 2 = 2/25 + 2 8x = 2/25 + 50/252. Combine the fractions on the right side: 8x = (2 + 50)/25 8x = 52/253. Divide both sides of the equation by 8 to solve for x: (8x)/8 = (52/25)/8 x = 52/25 * 1/84. Simplify the right side of the equation: x = 52/200 x = 13/50Therefore, the solution to the equation 8x - 2 = 2/25 is x = 13/50.
