Answer:


the \: answer \: is = 16.5 \: because \\ if \: we \: solve \: 2(x - 4) = 25 \\ we \: must \: multiply \: the \: contents \: of \: the \: bracket \: with \: 2 \: which \: will \: give \: us \\ 2x - 8 = 25 \: when \: we \: collect \: like \: terms \: we \: get \: 2x = 25 + 8 \\ when \: this \: is \: solved \: we \: get \: 2x = 33 \\ when \: we \: divide \: both \: sides \: by \: t \\ 2 \: we \: get \: 16.5. \: \\ that \: is \: the \: answer.
