Solve the following:$0.5x+x÷3=0.25x+7$

Given :

The given expression is $0.5x+x÷3=0.25x+7$.

To do :

We have to find the value of x.

Solution :

We have to use the BODMAS method in these types of problems.

$0.5x+x÷3=0.25x+7$

$0.5x+(\frac{x}{3}) = 0.25x+7$

Multiply by 3 on both sides,

$3(0.5x)+3(\frac{x}{3}) = 3(0.25x)+3(7)$

$1.5x+x = 0.75x+21$

$2.5x = 0.75x+21$

$2.5x-0.75x = 21$

$1.75x = 21$

$x = \frac{21}{1.75}$

$x = \frac{21(100)}{1.75(100)}$

$x = \frac{2100}{175}$

$x = 12$

The value of x is 12.
