Explanation:

Steps

1. Isolate the variable subtract 4.25 since it's positive.

4.25 - 1.25x = 0

- 4.25 - 4.25

- 1.25x = - 4.25

2. Divide by - 1.25 in both sides of equation.

- 1.25x = - 4.25

--------- ---------- <------- fraction bar/ divide

-1.25 -1.25

x = 3.4

Check:

4.25 - 1.25 (3.4) = 0

4.25 - 4.25 = 0

0 = 0

True statement.
