0.75x + 10.25= 1.25x + 5.25

what is the value of x?

1 answer

To find the value of x, we need to solve the equation.

0.75x + 10.25 = 1.25x + 5.25

First, let's simplify the equation by subtracting 0.75x from both sides:

10.25 = 1.25x - 0.75x + 5.25

Simplifying further:

10.25 = 0.5x + 5.25

Next, let's subtract 5.25 from both sides:

10.25 - 5.25 = 0.5x + 5.25 - 5.25

5 = 0.5x

Finally, divide both sides by 0.5:

5 / 0.5 = 0.5x / 0.5

10 = x

Therefore, the value of x is 10.
