Question

Find the value of x
5(x−7)=25

Answer 1

x = 12

Explanation:

5(x-7) = 25 (distribute)

5x-35 =25 (add 35 on both sides)

5x = 60 (divide)

x = 12

Answer 2

x=12

Explanation:

5(x−7)=25

Divide both sides by 5.

x−7=25/5

Divide 25 by 5 to get 5.

x−7=5

Add 7 to both sides.

x=5+7

Add 5 and 7 to get 12.

x=12
