Question

2.5(12.75x + 24.50) = 188.75

Answer 1

X=4






That’s the answer

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, in order to get rid of the parenthesis, you need to multiply 2.5 with whatever is in the parenthesis.

Multiply 2.5 on each side of the equation like this:

(12.75 x 2.5) (24.50 x 2.5) =188.75

Once you're finished, you should get 61.25 and 31.875x =188.75

Now in order to find 'x' you will need to subtract 61.25 to each side of the equation like this:

61.25 - 61.25 = 0

188.75 - 61.25 = 127.5

So now your equation should look like this:

31.875x = 127.5

You have to divide 31.875 by each side now.

Once you divide them, your final answer should be 4.

so x = 4.

I really hope this helps! ^^
