Solve 5x-25=3x 15

Evaluate

5 x - 25 = 3 x \times 15

Multiply the terms

5 x - 25 = 45 x

Move the variable to the left side

5 x - 25 - 45 x = 0

Subtract the terms

More Steps

- 40 x - 25 = 0

Move the constant to the right side

- 40 x = 0 + 25

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

- 40 x = 25

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

40 x = - 25

Divide both sides

\frac{40 x}{40} = \frac{- 25}{40}

Divide the numbers

x = \frac{- 25}{40}
