Answer:
x=4
Step-by-step explanation:
0.25x+7=4(x−2)
Use the distributive property to multiply 4 by x−2.
0.25x+7=4x−8
Subtract 4x from both sides.
0.25x+7−4x=−8
Combine 0.25x and −4x to get −3.75x.
−3.75x+7=−8
Subtract 7 from both sides.
−3.75x=−8−7
Subtract 7 from −8 to get −15.
−3.75x=−15
Divide both sides by −3.75.
x=-15/-3.75
Expand -15/-3.75 by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 100.
x=-1500/-375
Divide −1500 by −375 to get 4.
x=4
