Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

First you would multiply -5 by everything in parenthesis so...

25 - 3x= -5 + 5x - 2x

Then 5x- 2x..

25 - 3x= -5 + 3x

Add -3x to both sides

25 = -5 + 6x

Add 5 to both side

30= 6x

Divide 6 on both side

5 = x

Hope this helped :)

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

25 - 3x = -5(1 - x) - 2x

<u></u>

<u>We have to first get rid of the parenthesis:</u>

-5 * 1  ==>  -5

-5 * -x  ==>  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>

\frac{30}{6}     =      \frac{6x}{6}

5 = x

It's not 12.
So 4,8,12 can't be the side lengths of a right triangle.
