Question

What is the Value of x in the equation 2.5x + 10 = x-0.5 ?

Answer 1

x = 7

Explanation:

2.5x + 10 = x - 0.5

2.5x - x + 10 = - 0.5

1.5x + 10 = - 0.5

1.5x = - 10 - 0.5

1.5x = - 10.5

x = - 105/15

x = 7

Answer 2

Answer: 7

Explanation:

`2.5x+10=x-0.5\\2.5x-x+10=-0.5\\1.5x=-0.5-10\\1.5x=-10.5\\x=(10.5)/(1.5)\\ x=7`
