Answer:
the value of x is, 0.75
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve:
\(0.25[2.5x + 1.5(x-4)] =-x\)
using distributive property, \(a \cdot (b+c)=a \cdot b+ a\cdot c\) we have;
\(0.25[2.5x+1.5x-6] = -x\)
Combine like terms:
\(0.25[4x-6] = -x\)
Apply the distributive property we have;
\(x-1.5 = -x\)
Add x to both sides we have;
\(2x-1.5 = 0\)
Add 1.5 to both sides we have;
\(2x=1.5\)
Divide both sides by 2 we have;
x = 0.75
Therefore, the value of x is, 0.75
