Question

-16.25 = 0.25x – 3.75 please help

Answer 1

-16.25 = 0.25x -3.75

-16.25 + 3.75= -12.75

-12.75 = 0.25x/ 0.25

x = -50

Answer 2

Answer:

-50

Step-by-step explanation:

Note the equal sign. What you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS:

Parenthesis

Exponents (& roots)

Multiplication

Division

Addition

Subtraction

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

-16.25 = 0.25x - 3.75

First, add 3.75 to both sides

-16.25 (+3.75) = 0.25x - 3.75 (+3.75)

-16.25 + 3.75 = 0.25x

-12.5 = 0.25x

Isolate the x. Divide 0.25 from both sides

(-12.5)/0.25 = (0.25x)/0.25

x = (-12.5)/0.25

x = -50

-50 is your answer for x.
