1. Answer:

   -2.1

   Step-by-step explanation:

   We have an equation and the question is asking us to look for x.

   To solve, we must isolate x and get it on its own.

   2.5(x + 4) = 4.75

   Distribute the 2.5 to get rid of the parenthesis :

   (2.5(x) + 4(2.5)) = 4.75

   2.5x + 10 = 4.75

   Subtract ten from both sides :

   2.5x = -5.25

   Divide 2.5 by both sides to get x alone :

   x = -2.1
