Subtract the numbers
−52x
−52x−30−25
Subtract the numbers
−52x−55
−52x−55=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−52x=0+55
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−52x=55
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
52x=−55
Divide both sides
5252x=52−55
Divide the numbers
x=52−55
Solution
