Which value of x makes the equation true? 3.5 ( x + 20 ) = 6 + 0.75 ( x + 1 )

-23

Step-by-step explanation:

-23

Step-by-step explanation:

3.5 (x+20) = 6 + .75 (x+1)

First off you'll have to distribute the x values, leaving

3.5x + 70 = 6 + .75x + .75

Now you have to simplify,

3.5x + 70 = 6 + .75x + .75

        - 6      - 6                  

3.5x + 64 = .75x + .75

Here we can now get rid of the .75

3.5x + 64 = .75x + .75

        - .75              -.75

3.5x + 63.25 = .75x

To get rid of the last x value  we subtract from both sides;

3.5x + 63.25 = .75x

-3.5x                 -3.5x

63.25 = -2.75x

Then divide to isolate the variable.

63.25 ÷ -2.75

to get -23 as the answer.

Sorry this is really long, but hopefully it helps! Have a great day!
