Answer 1

x=3

Explanation:

8x-2(x-5)=x+25

Distribute the 2:

8x-2x+10=x+25

Put all x's on one side:

8x-2x-x=25-10

Combine like terms:

5x=15

Solve:

x=3

Answer 2

8x - 2(x + 5) = x + 25
8x - 2x - 10 = x + 25
6x - 10 = x + 25

minus x from both sides

5x - 10 = 25

add 10 to both sides

5x = 35

divide 5 from both sides

x = 7

THE ANSWER IS A. X = 7
