Answer:

12

Explanation:

You basically multiply across. So you get, 4 times 75= 25x. 4x75=300. then you get 300=25x. In order to get rid of the "x",you must do the opposite of multiplication,which is division. Divide both sides by 25 and you get 12=x.

Answer:

Well, since 75 is 3x the value of 25, you can infer that "x" is also 3x the value! The answer should be 12/75, or, if you were to simplify it, 3/25!
