= 5x - 25 = -10
= 5x = -10 + 25 ( transposing-25 from LHS to RHS changes -25 to +25 )
= 5x = 15
= x = 15 ÷ 5 ( transposing ×5 from LHS to RHS changes ×5 to ÷5 l
= x = 3
Let us check whether or not we have found out the correct value by keeping 3 in the place of x :
= 5 × 3 - 25 = -10
= 15 - 25 = -10
= -10 = -10
LHS = RHS
We have found out the correct value of x .
Therefore x = 3 .
