In the equation 0.1(x+10)=0.3+-4, x does not equal to 25. The problem is worked out below:
Given the equation: 0.1(x+10)=0.3+-4
Multiply 0.1 times x and 0.1 times 10 to get: 0.1x+1=0.3+-4
Subtract the 1 from both sides to get: 0.1x=0.3+-4-1
Simplify the right side of the equation to get: 0.1x=-4.7
Divide both sides by 0.1 to get: x=-47
