Answer:
Simplifying
2.5x + -5 = 5
Reorder the terms:
-5 + 2.5x = 5
Solving
-5 + 2.5x = 5
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '5' to each side of the equation.
-5 + 5 + 2.5x = 5 + 5
Combine like terms: -5 + 5 = 0
0 + 2.5x = 5 + 5
2.5x = 5 + 5
Combine like terms: 5 + 5 = 10
2.5x = 10
Divide each side by '2.5'.
x = 4
Simplifying
x = 4
