Find the value of x in 5(x - 7) = 25

Sagot :

Given the equation

[tex]5(x-7)=25[/tex]

First, open the bracket on the left-hand side.

[tex]5x-35=25[/tex]

Next, add 35 to both sides of the equation.

[tex]\begin{gathered} 5x-35+35=25+35 \\ 5x=60 \end{gathered}[/tex]

To solve for x, divide both sides by 5.

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{5x}{5}=\frac{60}{5} \\ x=12 \end{gathered}[/tex]

The value of x is 12.
