simplify x - 5x + 35 to -4x + 35
subtract 35 from both sides
simplify -7 - 35 to -42
divide both sides by -4
two negatives make a positive
simplify 42/4 to 21/2
Answer: x = 21/2.
The answer would be 39.78
The value of x would be the answer of 25^2 which means it is squared and squaring means a number times itself, so, therefore you have 25x25 which would give you the answer of 625 meaning x=625
