7.5

Do you know how to isolate the x?
OpenStudy (moldybubblegum11):
to figure out x just subtract the answer (10) with 2.5
OpenStudy (hocuspucus292333393):
7.5 first then what

2.5 + x = 10
2.5 + x - 2.5 = 10 - 2.5
x = 10 - 2.5 <---What is the related equation with the variable on one side of the equation?
x = 75.
OpenStudy (gracygirl):
7.5 not 75.
OpenStudy (gracygirl):
Do you see how we got that?
OpenStudy (hocuspucus292333393):
like this
OpenStudy (gracygirl):
Switch the 10 and 2.5, 10 - 2.5 = 7.5 but 2.5 - 10 = -7.5

Does it make sense how we got the variable alone and then simplified it?
OpenStudy (hocuspucus292333393):
yh
OpenStudy (gracygirl):
Your answer should be x = 10 - 2.5
OpenStudy (gracygirl):
It has to go in order or it will turn out wrong.
