Question

5x - 25 = x
solve for the value of x
Answered by GPT 3.5
To solve for x, we need to isolate the variable on one side of the equation.

Starting with the equation: 5x - 25 = x

First, let's subtract x from both sides of the equation:
5x - x - 25 = x - x
4x - 25 = 0

Next, let's add 25 to both sides of the equation:
4x - 25 + 25 = 0 + 25
4x = 25

Finally, divide both sides of the equation by 4:
(4x)/4 = 25/4
x = 25/4

Therefore, the value of x is 25/4.
