Work it through, doing the same thing to both sides:

0.25(3x - 4) - 0.5x = 2.75

[Multiply both sides by 4]

→ 4 × (0.25(3x - 4) - 0.5x) = 4 × (2.75)

→ 4 × 0.25(3x - 4) - 4 × 0.5x = 4 × 2.75

→ 3x - 4 - 2x = 11

[simplify the left by collecting the x's together; the right is as simple as it can be]

→ 3x - 2x - 4 = 11

→ (3 - 2)x - 4 = 11

→ x - 4 = 11

[Add 4 to both sides]

→ (x - 4) + 4 = (11) + 4

→ x - 4 + 4 = 11 + 4

→ x = 15

→ Solution is B. 15
