Answer 2

Answer: The required value of x is 2.5.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the value of x in the following equation :

`-7.5(x-3)=3.75~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)`

To find the value of x, we need to solve the given equation (i).

The solution of equation (i) is as follows :

`-7.5(x-3)=3.75\\\\\\\Rightarrow x-3=(3.75)/(-7.5)\\\\\\\Rightarrow x-3=-0.5\\\\\Rightarrow x=3-0.5\\\\\Rightarrow x=2.5.`

Thus, the required value of x is 2.5.
