Question

Which value of x makes the equation -5(x-3)=-25​

Answer 1

`x = - 5.6`

Explanation:

`- 5(x - 3) = - 25 \\ - 5x + 3 = - 25 \\ - 5x = - 25 - 3 \\ - 5x = - 28 \\ ( - 5x)/( - 5) = ( - 28)/( - 5) \\ x = - 5.6`

Answer 2

x=8

Explanation:

-5(x-3)=-25

Divide each side by -5

-5/-5(x-3)=-25/-5

x-3 = 5

Add 3 to each side

x-3+3 = 5+3

x = 8
