Answer:
x = 11.3125
Step-by-step explanation:
0.25 + 13 = 4(x - 8)
Distribute the 4 across the parentheses.
0.25 + 13 = 4x - 32
Combine the constants on the left side of the equal sign.
13.25 = 4x - 32
Combine all the constants by adding 32 to both sides.
45.25 = 4x
Divide by 4 to isolate the x.
45.25/4 = x
11.3125 = x
Check.
0.25 + 13 = 4(x - 8)
0.25 + 13 = 4(11.3125 - 8)
0.25 + 13 = 4(3.3125)
0.25 + 13 = 13.25
13.25 = 13.25
