To triple this number, you can triple the whole number, triple the fraction, then add them together.
3*3=9
1/2*3=3/2 (or 1 1/2)
Add them together.
9+1 1/2= 10 1/2
62.50/5=12.50 for each tour
500/12.50 = 40 tours
Based on the answer choices, we suspect you intend
.. (x -1) +26 = -4x
This simplifies to
.. x +25 = -4x
.. 25 = -5x . . . . . subtract x
.. -5 = x . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x
