Question

5x-5=75-25x , how do you do the steps of this?

Answer 1

Add 5 to both sides

5x = 75 - 25x + 5

Simplify 75 - 25x + 5 to -25x + 80

5x = -25x + 80

Add 25x to both sides

5x + 25x = 80

Simplify 5x + 25x to 30x

30x = 80

Divide both sides by 30

x = 80/30

Simplify 80/30 to 8/3

`x = (8)/(3)`
