Question

Write a two step equation involving division and addition that has a solution of x= -25

Answer 1

x = -50 + 50/2
x = -50 + 25
x = -25

Answer 2

Answer with explanation:

Let us consider a variable x.

and now we take a equation in terms of the variable x as follows:

`2x-25=-75`

First step:

We first add both side of the equation by 25.

i.e. the first step involves the process of addition.

`2x=-75+25\\\\i.e.\\\\2x=-50`

Second step:

Now we divide both side of the equation by 2 to obtain:

i.e. this step involves the process of division.

`x=(-50)/(2)\\\\i.e.\\\\x=-25`
