-25-2x=3x

I know the answer to the problem but i´m not sure how to move the constant (-25) to the other side. When you move the constant to the right side the equation should be -2x=3x+25. How do you move a constant to the other side?

In this case I believe you would add 25 to both sides. The -25 +25 would cancel out and then +25 would be on the right.
