Answer:

There is no solution

Explanation:

Simplifying

b + 25 = b + -25

Reorder the terms:

25 + b = b + -25

Reorder the terms:

25 + b = -25 + b

Add '-1b' to each side of the equation.

25 + b + -1b = -25 + b + -1b

Combine like terms: b + -1b = 0

25 + 0 = -25 + b + -1b

25 = -25 + b + -1b

Combine like terms: b + -1b = 0

25 = -25 + 0

25 = -25

Solving

25 = -25

Couldn't find a variable to solve for.

This equation is invalid, the left and right sides are not equal, therefore there is no solution.
