x=4
Step-by-step explanation:
To start figuring this out, you need to combine like terms.
To start, you can combine all terms containing the variable x, which is 2x and 3x. This would then make the equation 5x+7-2=25.
You then need to combing the singular numbers, 7 and -2. Doing this brings the equation to 5x+5=25.
From here, subtract 5 from both sides to get you 5x=20.
Finally, you divide both sides by 5 to get you x=4.
