Solve for x. 25(10x+15)=26 (1 point)

Question

x = 5
x = 12
x = 7
x = 3

Answer 1

To solve for x, we will simplify and solve the equation step by step.

25(10x + 15) = 26

First, we can distribute the 25 to both terms inside the parentheses:

250x + 375 = 26

Next, we can subtract 375 from both sides:

250x = 26 - 375

Now, let's simplify the right side of the equation:

250x = -349

Finally, we divide both sides of the equation by 250:

x = -349/250

So, x ≈ -1.396

Therefore, none of the provided answer choices (x = 5, x = 12, x = 7, x = 3) is the correct solution.
