Question

2) 3x - 7.25 = 16
Solve for x

Answer 1

x = 7.75

Explanation:

To solve this equation for x, start by consolidating the constant terms on the right side: Add 7.25 to both sides, obtaining:

3x = 16 + 7.25, or

3x = 23.25

Dividing both sides by 3, we get x = 7.75

Answer 2

x = 7.75

Explanation:

3 x - 7.25 = 16

3 x = 16 + 7.25

3 x = 23.25

x = 23.25/3

x = 7.75
