Question

What is the solution for this eqaution:-5x – 25 = 5x + 25​

Answer 1

Answer:

x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by adding the 5x to each side of the equation to the left to get...

-25 = 5x + 25 + 5x

Then you would add 25 to each side of the equation to get...

0 = 10x + 25 + 25

Adding on, you would simplify this step to get...

0 = 10x +50

You would now have to make the x variable on one side alone so you would subtract 50 from both sides of the equation again to get...

-50 = 10x

Finally you would divide both sides of the equation by 10 to get x alone...

-50/10 = 10x/10

And simplify that to get...

x = -5
