Simplify 0.125=1-0.25x

Problem

0.125=1−0.25*x

Solution

1. Subtract 1 from both sides of the equation to isolate the term containing x

0.125−1=−0.25*x

2. Simplify the left side of the equation.

−0.875=−0.25*x

3. Divide both sides by −0.25 to solve for x

x=(−0.875)/(−0.25)

4. Calculate the quotient to find the value of x

x=3.5

Final Answer

0.125=1−0.25*x⇒x=3.5
