You can put this solution on YOUR website! $600 = $425 - 7.50x
-425 = -7.50x
$175 = -7.50x

Yes you did get the right answer, however you had a negative number for X. in the first step you add 7.5X instead of subtrabtracting. In this way you wont get a negative number and will help you reduce any mistakes that often occur when working with and converting negative numbers.
so
$600=$425+7.5X
$600-425=7.5X
$175=7.5X
