Question

7. If 25x+2 = 53x-1, then x =​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

25x-2=53x-1

We move all terms to the left:

25x-2-(53x-1)=0

We get rid of parentheses

25x-53x+1-2=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-28x-1=0

We move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right

-28x=1

x=1/-28

x=-1/28

Answer 2

Answer:

25x+1=53x-1

1+1=53x-25x

2=28x

x=2/18=1/14
