[tex]\text {Hey! Let's Solve this Equation!}[/tex]
[tex]\text {\underline {The First Step is to do Keep Change Change (KCC)}}[/tex]
[tex]\text {Keep: 4.25}\\\text {Change: - into +}\\\text {Change: 2.5x into -2.5x}[/tex]
[tex]\text {\underline {The Next Step is to Flip the Equation}}[/tex]
[tex]\text {Before: 4.25+-2.5x=14.75}\\\text {After: -2.5x+4.25=14.75}[/tex]
[tex]\text {\underline {The Next Step is to Subtract 4.25}}[/tex]
[tex]\text {-2.5x+4.25-4.25=14.75-4.25=10.5}\\\text {-2.5x=10.5}[/tex]
[tex]\text {\underline {The Final Step is to Divide -2.5}}[/tex]
[tex]\text {-2.5x/-2.5=10.5/-2.5}[/tex]

Hey there!☺
[tex]Answer:\boxed{x=-4.2}[/tex]
[tex]Explanation:[/tex]
[tex]4.25-2.5x=14.75[/tex]
Let's start by simplifying both sides in the equation.
[tex]4.25+-2.5x=14.75\\-2.5x+4.25=14.75[/tex]
Now we subtract 4.25 from both sides in the equation.
[tex]-2.5x+4.25-4.25=14.75-4.25\\-2.5x=10.5[/tex]
Now in our third/final step, we will divide both sides by -2.5.
[tex]\frac{-2.5x}{-2.5}= \frac{10.5}{-2.5}[/tex]
Now we simplify 10.5/-2.5.
[tex]\frac{10.5}{-2.5}=-4.2[/tex]
[tex]x=-4.2[/tex]
Hope this helps!
