Explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

15+10x=75x+25

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

10x+15=75x+25

Step 2: Subtract 75x from both sides.

10x+15−75x=75x+25−75x

−65x+15=25

Step 3: Subtract 15 from both sides.

−65x+15−15=25−15

−65x=10

Step 4: Divide both sides by -65.

−65x
