Question

What is the value of x in the equation 2.5 - 0.25x - -3

Answer 1

The given equation is expressed as

2.5 - 0.25x = -3

Subtracting 2.5 from both sides of the equation, we have

2.5 - 2.5 - 0.25x = -3 - 2.5

- 0.25x = - 5.5

Dividing both sides of the equation by - 0.25, we have

- 0.25x/- 0.25 = - 5.5/- 0.25

x = 22
