Question

(-3/4)x + 25 = (1/8)x - 3 Find x and show your work No links please!

Answer 1

Step one =

-3/4x + 25 -1/8x = 1/8x = 1/8x -3 - 1/8x

-7/8x + 25 = -3

Step two =

-7/8x + 25 - 25 = -3 - 25

-7/8x = -28

Step three =

(8/-7) * (-7/8x) = (8/-7) * (-28)

Answer

X = 32

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 32

Step-by-step explanation:

(-3/4)x + 25 = (1/8)x - 3

Subtract 25 from both sides:

(-3/4)x + 25 - 25 = (1/8)x - 3 - 25

(-3/4)x = (1/8)x - 28

Subtract (1/8)x from both sides:

(-3/4)x - (1/8)x = (1/8)x - 28 - (1/8)x

(-7/8)x = -28

Multiply both sides by 8:

8(-7/8)x = 8(-28)

-7x = -224

Divide both sides by -7:

-7x/-7 = -224/-7

x = 32
