The "plus x minus two x" part basically means "minus x".
So, "six minux x equals five".
This means that six minus five is x. So, x is one!
Now, let's check this in the problem: replace x with 1. Six plus one minus two ones equals five? Yes, it does!
The answer is x=1.

Step-by-step explanation:
10*12
ans/3.25
Lets say u want an item that originally cost $ 50.....and u get a 25% discount....then u are actually subtracting 25% of the original price.
25% of 50 .....turn the percent to a decimal..." of " means multiply
0.25 * 50 = 12.50.....so u would be subtracting 12.50 from $ 50 for the discounted price which is (50 - 12.5) = 37.5
here is another example...
u want an item that costs $ 90....and it is 25% off.....so u would be subtracting (25% of 90).......u would be subtracting (0.25 * 90) = 22.50 from the original price to arrive at the discounted price.
90 - 22.50 = 67.50...the discounted price
But let me show u something....taking 25% off is the same as paying 75%..
so lets say u want an item that costs $ 60....and u get a 25% discount...this means u r actually paying 75%.....ur paying 75% of 60.
0.75 * 60 = $ 45...this is what u r paying....no need for subtracting
