Examine the steps used to solve the equation.

12.5x - 10.2 = 3 (2.5x + 4.2) - 6

12.5x - 10.2 = 7.5x + 12.6 - 6

12.5x - 10.2 = 7.5x + 6.6

12.5x = 7.5x + 16.8 4. 5x = 16.8

5. x = 3.36

    see below

    Step-by-step explanation:

    12.5x - 10.2 = 3 (2.5x + 4.2) - 6

    Use the distributive property to distribute the 3

    12.5x - 10.2 = 7.5x + 12.6 - 6

    Combine like terms

    12.5x - 10.2 = 7.5x + 6.6

    Add 10.2 to each side of the equation by using the addition property of equality

    12.5x = 7.5x + 16.8

    Subtraction 7.5x from each side of the equation by using the subtraction property of equality

    5x = 16.8

    Divide by 5 on each side by using the division property of equality

    x = 3.36
