Solve 5x - 24 = 25/2x

Evaluate

5 x - 24 = \frac{25}{2} x

Move the variable to the left side

5 x - 24 - \frac{25}{2} x = 0

Subtract the terms

More Steps

- \frac{15}{2} x - 24 = 0

Move the constant to the right side

- \frac{15}{2} x = 0 + 24

Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression

- \frac{15}{2} x = 24

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

\frac{15}{2} x = - 24

Multiply by the reciprocal

\frac{15}{2} x \times \frac{2}{15} = - 24 \times \frac{2}{15}

Multiply

x = - 24 \times \frac{2}{15}
