Answer:

X = 56

Explanation:

Simplifying

0.125x + 3 = 10

Reorder the terms:

3 + 0.125x = 10

Solving

3 + 0.125x = 10

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-3' to each side of the equation.

3 + -3 + 0.125x = 10 + -3

Combine like terms: 3 + -3 = 0

0 + 0.125x = 10 + -3

0.125x = 10 + -3

Combine like terms: 10 + -3 = 7

0.125x = 7

Divide each side by '0.125'.

x = 56

Simplifying

x = 56
