Answer:
38.2, or 38 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Steps for Solving Linear Equation:
4=51.75−1.25x
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
51.75−1.25x=4
Subtract 51.75 from both sides.
−1.25x=4−51.75
Subtract 51.75 from 4 to get −47.75.
−1.25x=−47.75
Divide both sides by −1.25.
x=−1.25−47.75
Expand −1.25−47.75≈38.2 by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 100.
x=−125−4775
Reduce the fraction −125−4775≈38.2 to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out −25.
x=5191
