Answer:

x = 6

Explanation:

First, determine which variable to solve for: x.

Use the Identity Property to gather x on one side of the equation:

$25.75x - $26.50x = $15.50 - $20

Simplify:

-$0.75x = -$4.50

To solve for x, divide both sides by x:

-x = -6

Multiply by -1 to remove the negative:

x = 6

Answer:x=6

Explanation:

20+25.75x=26.5x+15.5

20+(25.75x-26.5x)=15.5

-0.75x=15.5-20

-0.75=-4.5

x=6
