Solve 0.5(3+0.25x)=4

$$0.5(3+0.25x)=4$$

Solve for x

$$x=20$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Divide both sides by 0.5.

$$3+0.25x=\frac{4}{0.5}$$

Expand \frac{4}{0.5} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$3+0.25x=\frac{40}{5}$$

Divide 40 by 5 to get 8.

$$3+0.25x=8$$

Subtract 3 from both sides.

$$0.25x=8-3$$

Subtract 3 from 8 to get 5.

$$0.25x=5$$

Divide both sides by 0.25.

$$x=\frac{5}{0.25}$$

Expand \frac{5}{0.25} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 100.

$$x=\frac{500}{25}$$

Divide 500 by 25 to get 20.

$$x=20$$
