Question

What is the value of x if 10 – 25x = 5?

Answer 1

X=30

10-25x=5

-10 on both sides

Then you get this :

-25x=-5

Then divide -25 from both sides:

X=30

Answer 2

10-25x=5

subtract 10 from both sides so 5-10 is -5

so now your left with -25x=-5 then divdie -25x by -5 and rememeber -5 divided by a negative is a positive and positive divided by a posivte is a positive and negavite divided by a positive is negavtive or positive divided by a negative is a negative

so when you divide -25x by -5 you get 5 so your answer is x=-5
