Answer:

if we make this a algebraic equation it will look like this

7x-3/4x=25

6.25x=25

25 divided by 6.25=4

x=4

to check

28-3=25

Hope This Helps!!!

Answer:

103/28

Explanation:

Let the number be 'x'

Equation:-

7x - 3/4 = 25

7x = 25 + 3/4

7x = 100/4 + 3/4

7x = 103/4

x = 103/(4 x 7)

x = 103/28
