Answer 1

Answer:

i think x is 55

Step-by-step explanation:

.25(x-13)=17

.25x-3.25=17

.25x=13.75

x=55

Answer 2

Answer:

x=41

Step-by-step explanation:

0.25(x-13)=7

We move all terms to the left:

0.25(x-13)-(7)=0

We multiply parentheses

0.25x-3.25-7=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

0.25x-10.25=0

We move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right

0.25x=10.25

x=10.25/0.25

x=41
