Write an equation with the solution \( x = 25 \).

The equation should have the variable on both sides, a decimal coefficient on the left side, and a decimal anywhere on the right side. One of the decimals should be written in tenths, and the other in hundredths.

Example: \( 0.5x = 2.75 + 0.01x \)

An equation with the solution x = 25 can be expressed as 1.5 x = 6.25 + 1.25 x . This equation features decimal coefficients and retains the variable on both sides. After simplifying, it checks out to confirm the value of x .
