Question

What is the value of x in the equation 2.5 x + 10 = x minus 0.5?

Answer 1

x=-7

Explanation:

multiply both sides by 10

its gonna be 25x+100=10x-5

subtract 100 from both. 25x=10x-105

subtract 10x from both. 15x= -105

divide both by 15. x=-7

Answer 2

x=7

Explanation:

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