Question

Solve for x:
2.50+1.50x=3.25+1.25x

Answer 1

x = 3

Explanation:

Multiply both sides by 100

2.5 · 100 + 1.5x · 100 = 3.25 · 100 + 1.25x · 100

Refine:

250 + 150x - 250 = 325 + 125x - 250

Simplify:

150x = 125x + 75

Subtract 125x from both sides:

150x - 125x = 125x + 75 - 125x

simplify:

25x = 75

Now all you have to do is Divide both sides by 25:

`(25x)/(25)` =
`(75)/(25)`

Now Finally the last part Now just Simplify so therefore the answer is

x = 3
