Answer 2

Hi there,

please see below for solution steps :

  ________

We know what 3.25x is equal to. What do you think we should do to find x? Remember, we need opposite operations. Here x is multiplied by 3.25. What is the opposite of multiplying by 3.25? That's right, dividing by 3.25. But we can't ignore the golden rule of algebra - whatever you do to one side, you should do to the other. So we can only divide 3.25 by 3.25 if we divide the other side by 3.25 aswell.

Thus,

$\boldsymbol{3.25x=8.125}\\\boldsymbol{x=2.5}$

Hope the answer - & explanation - made sense,

happy studying !!                                                           $\tiny\boldsymbol{Frozen \ melody}$
