Answer:

Explanation:

I'm just going to reverse the equation because I'm more comfortable with the x being on the left side:

25(x+4) = 350

Do distributive property (I'll explain down below if you don't know what that is):

25x+100=350

Same to both sides

25x = 250

Divide 25 on both sides

x = 10

Distributive property is when there are multiple terms inside the parenthesis and 1 or more term outside of it

To show this works, lets do 6(5+1)

We can either do 6*6 or we can do 30+6 and we get the same answer

Let me know if you have any questions
