Answer:

x = 25

Explanation:

75 = (4x - 25)

Since there are no numbers outside of the parentheses, we can remove them.

75 = 4x - 25

Now we can see that we can add 25 to both sides.

100 = 4x

Divide both sides by 4 to isolate x.

25 = x

Check by plugging in the value into the original equation.

75 = 4(25) - 25

75 = 100 - 25

75 = 75

Your answer is correct.

Hope this helps!
