Evaluate
25x−x
Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients
(25−1)x
Subtract the numbers
24x
24x−15−3
Subtract the numbers
24x−18
24x−18=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
24x=0+18
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
24x=18
Divide both sides
2424x=2418
Divide the numbers
x=2418
Solution
x=43
Alternative Form
x=0.75
