Answer:

We know that when 5(2x-3) = 25 x = 4 because when you plug 4 back into the equation you get 25=25. To solve this equation first you will distribute 5 into 2x -3 you will then get 10x-15 = 25. Then you will add 15 to both sides and get 10x = 40, next divide 10 from both sides and you will get x=4. To check this you can plug 4 back into the equation so it will look like this. 5(2(4)-3) = 25, first you will solve what is in the parenthesis, you will set 5(5)=25. Then multiply 5 by 5 and you will get 25=25. This proves that when 5(2x-3) = 25 x = 4
