Question

How do I solve this?


2x + 5 = 25

Answer 1

X=10

Explanation:

2x+5=25

subtract five from both sides

2x=25-5

2x=20

divide by two from both sides to solve for x

x=20/2

x=10

Answer 2

x=10

Explanation:

You need to subtract 5 from both sides. So 5-5 = 0 and 25-5 = 20.

This leaves you with 2x=20.

What you do next is divide 2 from both sides. So 2 divided by 2 cancels out and leaves you with x and 20 divded by 20 leaves you with 10.

This gives you the answer of x=10

Hope this helps! :)
