Take it step by step as follows:
8x -(2x+5) = 25
Get rid of the parentheses.
8x -2x -5 = 25
Combine 8x and -2x
6x -5 = 25
Add 5 to both sides
6x = 30
Divide both sides by 6
x = 5
8x -(2x+5) = 25
Get rid of the parentheses.
8x -2x -5 = 25
Combine 8x and -2x
6x -5 = 25
Add 5 to both sides
6x = 30
Divide both sides by 6
x = 5
