Solve 108=88+0.2(x-25)

$$108 = 88 + 0.2 ( x - 25 )$$

Solve for x

$$x=125$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply 0.2 by x-25.

$$108=88+0.2x-5$$

Subtract 5 from 88 to get 83.

$$108=83+0.2x$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$83+0.2x=108$$

Subtract 83 from both sides.

$$0.2x=108-83$$

Subtract 83 from 108 to get 25.

$$0.2x=25$$

Divide both sides by 0.2.

$$x=\frac{25}{0.2}$$

Expand \frac{25}{0.2} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$x=\frac{250}{2}$$

Divide 250 by 2 to get 125.

$$x=125$$
