Answer: x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use inverse operations to solve the equation. Because the term "-5x" is multiplication (because you are multiplying x by -5), we can use division to solve the equation.

First, we will divide -5 from 25.

25 ÷ -5 = -5.

Because of this, x = -5!

If we're not sure, we can also check the equation.

-5 x -5 = 25, so the answer is true.

In conclusion, x = -5!
