Solve 5(x 1)=25(x-2)

Evaluate

5 (x \times 1) = 25 (x - 2)

Remove the parentheses

5 x \times 1 = 25 (x - 2)

Multiply the terms

5 x = 25 (x - 2)

Expand the expression

More Steps

5 x = 25 x - 50

Move the variable to the left side

5 x - 25 x = - 50

Subtract the terms

More Steps

- 20 x = - 50

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

20 x = 50

Divide both sides

\frac{20 x}{20} = \frac{50}{20}

Divide the numbers

x = \frac{50}{20}

Solution

x = \frac{5}{2}

Alternative Form

x = 2.5
