Question

-25=-x what's the answer

Answer 1

When the negative of a variable is equal to an integer, then we multiply both sides of the equation by negative one to get the value of the variable.

Thus;

`-25=-x`

This is the same as;

`-x=-25`

So, we multiply by -1, we have;

`\begin{gathered} -1(-x)=-1(-25) \\ x=25 \end{gathered}`

CORRECT ANSWER: x=25
