Question

5x-25=-10 Please HELP

Answer 1

Answer:

We simplify the equation to the form, which is simple to understand  

5x+25=10

We move all terms containing x to the left and all other terms to the right.  

+5x=+10-25

We simplify left and right side of the equation.  

+5x=-15

or this is another way

Simplifying

5x = 25 + -10

Combine like terms: 25 + -10 = 15

5x = 15

Solving

5x = 15

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Divide each side by '5'.

x = 3

Simplifying

x = 3

We divide both sides of the equation by 5 to get x.  

x=-3

Answer 2

= 5x - 25 = -10

= 5x = -10 + 25 ( transposing-25 from LHS to RHS changes -25 to +25 )

= 5x = 15

= x = 15 ÷ 5 ( transposing ×5 from LHS to RHS changes ×5 to ÷5 l

= x = 3

Let us check whether or not we have found out the correct value by keeping 3 in the place of x :

= 5 × 3 - 25 = -10

= 15 - 25 = -10

= -10 = -10

LHS = RHS

We have found out the correct value of x .

Therefore x = 3 .
