To solve this equation, we can distribute 2.5 to the terms inside the parentheses:
2.5(5x + 2) = 12.5x + 5
12.5x + 5 = 12.5x + 5
Subtracting 12.5x from both sides of the equation gives:
5 = 0
However, this equation is not true.
Therefore, there is no solution for x that satisfies the equation.
2.5(5x + 2) = 12.5x + 5
12.5x + 5 = 12.5x + 5
Subtracting 12.5x from both sides of the equation gives:
5 = 0
However, this equation is not true.
Therefore, there is no solution for x that satisfies the equation.
