Question

4.25x + 7 = 53.75 solve this equation for x

Answer 1

Subtract 7 from both sides

4.25x = 53.75 - 7

Simplify 53.75 - 7 to 46.75

4.25x = 46.75

Divide both sides by 4.25

x = 46.75/4.25

Simplify 46.75/4.25 to 11

x = 11

Answer 2

4.25x + 7 = 53.75

Subtract 7 from both sides:

4.25x = 46.75

Divide both sides by 4.25:

X = 46.75 / 4.25

x = 11
