What it is asking is 8 times what equals 48. The best way to do this is by doing the opposite operation. 48 divided by 8 equals 6. Then if you put it in the other way you get 8(6)=48 which works out. So the answer is 6.
You are absolutely right.
A. 25 = (.5 * 22) + (2 * x)
B. 25 = (.5 * 22) + (2 * x)
25 = 11 + 2x
14 = 2x
7 = x
C. 7
