10x - 25 = 95

Question

Correct me if I'm wrong.

First, we do the reverse option of subtraction, which is addition. To both sides:

-25 + 25 = 0

-25 + 95 =70

so now we have 10x = 95

If I'm wrong or correct please tell me, then help me finish this equation.

Answer 1

You made a mistake in your calculation. When you subtract -25 + 25, the result is 0, not 70.

Here's the correct solution:

To isolate x, we need to get rid of the 10 multiplying it. We can do this by dividing both sides of the equation by 10:

10x/10 = 95/10

Simplifying, we have:

x = 9.5

So the solution to the equation is x = 9.5.
