Question

Write a two step equation involving division and addition that has a solution of x = 25

Answer 1

Start with the solution
x=-25
use the reverse of what they asked
they wanted division and addition
we use multiplication and subtract

ok
x=-25
we can use subtraction and multiplication in any order
minus 10 from both sides
x-10=-35
multiply both sides by 4
4(x-10)=-140
4x-40=-140 is a possible equation
