Answer:


53x+2=25x-8

Subtract 2 from both sides


53x+2-2=25x-8-2


53x=25x-10

Subtract 25x from both sides


53x-25x=25x-10-25x


28x=-10

Divide both sides by 28


(28x)/(28)=(-10)/(28)


x=-(5)/(14)

Answer:

-5/14

Explanation:

53x +2 = 25х – 8

Subtract 25x from each side

53x-25x +2 = 25х-25x – 8

28x +2 = -8

Subtract 2 from each side

28x +2-2 = -8-2

28x = -10

Divide by 28

28x/28 = -10/28

x = -5/14
