Question

25−3x=40 what does x equal

Answer 1

=−5

Explanation:

1. Rearrange terms

25−3=40

−3+25=40

2. Subtract 25 from both sides of the equation

−3+25=40

−3+25−25=40−25

3. Simplify

If you subtract the numbers

−3=15

4. Divide both sides of the equation by the same term

−3=15

−3÷-3=15÷-3

5. Simplify

If you divide the numbers

=−5

And thats the answer

I hope this helped :)
