HELP!!!!

Show work: -4(1.75+x)=18
Solve equation!

Answer 1

x=
`(-25)/(4)`

Explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

−4(1.75+x)=18

(−4)(1.75)+(−4)(x)=18(Distribute)

−7+−4x=18

−4x−7=18

Step 2: Add 7 to both sides.

−4x−7+7=18+7

−4x=25

Step 3: Divide both sides by -4.

-4x/-4= 25/-4

-25/4
