Question

What can you do to get 2x alone on the left side of the equation? Fill in the blanks below to show what you would do. Then, simplify the equation.

equation
82.5 + 8(0.25x) = 338.5

Answer 1

x=128

Subtract both sides by 82.5




Divide both sides by 2

2x/2 = 256/2

X=128

Answer 2

Answer: 82.5+8(0.25x)+2x=338.5

Subtract 82.5 on both side

Multiply 8 and 0.25 then add 2x

4x=338.5-82.5

Divide by 4

X=64
