Solve 25=3(1-2x) - ScanMath

Evaluate

25 = 3 (1 - 2 x)

Swap the sides of the equation

3 (1 - 2 x) = 25

Divide both sides

\frac{3 ( 1 - 2 x )}{3} = \frac{25}{3}

Divide the numbers

1 - 2 x = \frac{25}{3}

Move the constant to the right side

- 2 x = \frac{25}{3} - 1

Subtract the numbers

More Steps

- 2 x = \frac{22}{3}

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

2 x = - \frac{22}{3}

Multiply by the reciprocal

2 x \times \frac{1}{2} = - \frac{22}{3} \times \frac{1}{2}
