Question

HELPPP, i did it but i’m not sure if it’s right thank uu

Answer 1

I am pretty sure that is right

Explanation:

`3.25(1.25+0.5) = 10.5` is given

Then you distribute the
`3.25\\` to the
`1.25x` and the
`0.5`.

`3.25(1.25x)=4.06x`

`3.25(0.5)=1.6`

So the new equation would be
`4.06x + 1.6= 10.5`

Then you would subtract
`1.6` from each side to get
`4.06x=8.9`

Finally you would divide each side by
`4.06` to get
`x= 1.93`.

Answer 2

You have the correct sequence of reasons

Here's what the full step by step picture looks like

3.25(1.25x + 0.5) = 10.5 ................ given

4.0625x + 1.625 = 10.5 ................ distributive property

4.0625x = 8.875 ................ subtraction property of equality

x = 2.18461538461539 ....... division property of equality

---------------------------

Notes:

• The decimal value of x is approximate. Round it however you need.
• In the third step, we subtracted 1.625 from both sides
• In the fourth step, we divide both sides by 4.0625
