Then rearrange the equation to get 10x on the same side as 25.
Keep in mind, once bringing to the other side, your constant and variable will switch to a negative or positive for example,
-10x will become +10x. Another example is +20x will become -20x once brought to the other side.
Continuing on once rearranged, your equation will look like,
Then we have to get rid of the 2 on 2y so you will have to divide both sides by 2.
Dividing both sides by 2, you will get,
The reason why we don't divide and rather keep the 25/2 (25 divded by 2) is because 25 divided by 2 will give an answer with a decimal and that we don't want a decimal in our equation so we just keep it the way it is. If you ever get a decimal, make sure you keep it in its fraction form.
