What is the value of x if 2.5(x + 4) = 4.75?
Plz help this is a timed quiz

x = -2.1

Step-by-step explanation:Simplifying

2.5(x + 4) = 4.75

Reorder the terms:

2.5(4 + x) = 4.75

(4 * 2.5 + x * 2.5) = 4.75

(10 + 2.5x) = 4.75

Solving

10 + 2.5x = 4.75

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-10' to each side of the equation.

10 + -10 + 2.5x = 4.75 + -10

Combine like terms: 10 + -10 = 0

0 + 2.5x = 4.75 + -10

2.5x = 4.75 + -10

Combine like terms: 4.75 + -10 = -5.25

2.5x = -5.25

Divide each side by '2.5'.

x = -2.1

-2.1

Step-by-step explanation:

We have an equation and the question is asking us to look for x.

To solve, we must isolate x and get it on its own.

2.5(x + 4) = 4.75

Distribute the 2.5 to get rid of the parenthesis :

(2.5(x) + 4(2.5)) = 4.75

2.5x + 10 = 4.75

Subtract ten from both sides :

2.5x = -5.25

Divide 2.5 by both sides to get x alone :

x = -2.1
