Question
Solve the equation
x=25
Alternative Form
x=2.5
Evaluate
2x−(2−x)×5=3(x×1)
Remove the parentheses
2x−(2−x)×5=3x×1
Multiply the terms
2x−5(2−x)=3x×1
Multiply the terms
2x−5(2−x)=3x
Move the expression to the left side
2x−5(2−x)−3x=0
Subtract the terms
More Steps

Evaluate
2x−3x
Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients
(2−3)x
Subtract the numbers
−x
−x−5(2−x)=0

Evaluate
−x−5(2−x)
Expand the expression
More Steps

Calculate
−5(2−x)
Apply the distributive property
−5×2−(−5x)
Multiply the numbers
−10−(−5x)
If a negative sign or a subtraction symbol appears outside parentheses, remove the parentheses and change the sign of every term within the parentheses
−10+5x
−x−10+5x
Add the terms

Evaluate
−x+5x
Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients
(−1+5)x
Add the numbers
4x
4x−10
4x−10=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
4x=0+10
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
4x=10
Divide both sides
44x=410
Divide the numbers
x=410
Solution
