Question

Find the solution of 3.75x +15 = 63.75

Answer 1

The answer is x = 13.

Explanation:

first, move the constant to the right and change its sign, (+15)

3.75 x = 63.75 -15

next, subtract the numbers, (65.75 -15)

3.75x = 48.75

then, divide both sides of the equation by 3.75,

final answer, x = 13

Answer 2

x = 13

Explanation:

to solve this just simply collect the like terms and divide both sides by the coefficient of x

solution

3.75x +15 = 63.75

3.75x = 63.75 -15

3.75x = 48.75

divide both sides by the coefficient of x which is 3.75

3.75x/3.75 = 48.75/3.75

x = 13
