Step-by-step explanation:
25 - 3x = -5(1 - x) - 2x
<u></u>
<u>We have to first get rid of the parenthesis:</u>
==> -5
==> 5x
<u>So now you should have:</u>
25 - 3x = -5 + 5x - 2x
<u>Combine like terms:</u>
25 - 3x = -5 + 5x - 2x
25 - 3x = -5 + 3x
<u>Add 3x to both sides:</u>
25 - 3x = -5 + 3x
+ 3x = + 3x
<u>And you should have:</u>
25 = -5 + 6x
<u></u>
<u>Add 5 to both sides:</u>
25 = -5 + 6x
+5 = +5
30 = 6x
<u>Divide 6 to both sides:</u>
=
5 = x
