Question

(450) + (28.75x) = 967.50
solve for x

Answer 1

x= 18

Explanation:

To solve this equation you have to work backwards

Start by dealing with the numbers that we know:

450 + (28.75 × x) = 967.5

-450 -450

28.75x = 967.5

(when a number and a letter in mathematics are next to each other they are multiplying)

Now divide to find the value of x:

967.5 ÷ 28.75 = 18

18 is the value of x
