Answer:

x = 125

Explanation:

x/5 = 25

This is a one-step equation, which means that it will only take 1 step to isolate x. That step is the inverse of the operation inn the equation. The operation in the equation is division, so you'd multiply both sides of the equation by 5.

x/5 = 25

*5 *5

x = 125

That undoes what you did to x and gives you your final answer!

x = 125

x = 125

Multiply both sides by 5:

x/5 X 5 = x

and

25 X 5 = 125

so you're left with:

x = 125

Hope this helps
