Answer as a decimal: x=223.96
Answer as a fraction: x= 223 24/25
Let's solve this equation step-by-step!
5(x−225)=−5.2
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
5(x−225)=−5.2
(5)(x)+(5)(−225)=−5.2 (Distribute)
5x+−1125=−5.2
5x−1125=−5.2
Step 2: Add 1125 to both sides.
5x−1125+1125=−5.2+1125
5x=1119.8
Step 3: Divide both sides by 5.
5x/5=1119.8/5
x=223.96
