Hi there, fellow human.

Let's go step by step on this equation shall we?

==================================================================

Question: 0.25 (4x - 5) = 0.75x + 8

Answer: in the RHS (Right hand side) of the equation, it is given as 0.25 (4x - 5). Lets solve it first.

= 0.25 (4x - 5)

= (0.25 x 4x) - (0.25 x 5) [The minus is there because 5 is in a negative form]

= 1x - 1.25 [The final answer of RHS]

==================================================================

now in the LHS (Left hand Side) of the equation, it is given as 0.75x + 8. It is already solved, so now let's equate R.H.S and L.H.S!

==================================================================

1x - 1.25 = 0.75x + 8

1x - 0.75x = 1.25 + 8 [The x is taken to the other side, so the positive x turns into negative x. Similarly, -1.25 is taken to the other side, so the negative turns into positive]

0.25x = 9.25

x = $\frac{9.25}{0.25}$

as you know we cannot divide anything that's in decimal form. Therefore let's change that by multiplying both the numbers with 100.

∴ x = $\frac{925}{25}$

x = 37
