Answer:

False

Explanation:

Subtracting 5 is what starts the breaking down of the equation. It gets the answer correct. You could mess up trying to do otherwise

False - division comes last

I'll show you the real steps.

4x + 5 = 25

~Subtract 5 to both sides

4x = 25

~Divide 4 to both sides

x = 6.25

Best of Luck!
