Question

Solve the following: -7x + 5 = 8x - 25

Answer 1

`x=2`

Explanation:

Given equation:

`-7x + 5 = 8x - 25`

To find the value of 'x', take the terms of 'x' to one side and the constants to the other side:

Subtracting '
`5`' to both side:

`-7x+5-5=8x-25-5\\\\-7x=8x-30`

Subtracting '
`8x`' both side:

`-7x-8x=8x-8x-30\\\\-15x=-30`

`x=(-30)/(-15)`

`x=2`
