Answer:

x = -0.25

Explanation:

Given:

$\sf -4.8(x - 3.75) = 19.2$

Distribute the -4.8:

$\sf -4.8 * x -4.8* (-3.75) = 19.2$

$\sf -4.8x +18 =19.2$

Subtract 18 from both sides:

$\sf -4.8x +18 -18=19.2-18$

$\sf -4.8x = 1.2$

Divide both sides by -4.8:

$\sf (-4.8x)/(-4.8) = (1.2)/(-4.8)$

$\sf x = -0.25$

Therefore, the value of x is -0.25.

Answer:

x = - 0.25

Explanation:

given

- 4.8(x - 3.75) = 19.2 ( divide both sides by - 4.8 )

(-4.8)/(-4.8) (x - 3.75) =
(19.2)/(-4.8) ( simplify both sides )

x - 3.75 = - 4 ( add 3.75 to both sides )

x - 3.75 + 3.75 = - 4 + 3.75 ( simplify )

x = - 0.25
