Question

2.5x - 1.75 = 5 (7 - 0 5x)

Answer 1

For 2.5 x - 1.75 = 5 (7 - 0 5 x) , x = 1.47/1.1

Explanation:

Here, the given equation is : 2.5 x - 1.75 = 5 (7 - 0 5x)

By DISTRIBUTIVE PROPERTY:

A(B - C) = AB - AC

Solving for the value of x , we get:

2.5 x - 1.75 = 5 (7 - 0 5 x)

⇒ 2.5 x - 1.75 = 5 (7) - 5 (05 x)

⇒ 2. 5 x - 1. 75 = 35 - 25 x

or, 2. 5 x + 25 x = 35 + 1. 75

or, 27 . 5 x = 36.75

⇒ x = 36.75/ 27.5 = 7.35/ 5.5 = 1.47/1.1

or, x = 1.47/1.1

Hence, for 2.5 x - 1.75 = 5 (7 - 0 5 x) , x = 1.47/1.1
