Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
5x + 25 = 2x + 11
Reorder the terms:
25 + 5x = 2x + 11
Reorder the terms:
25 + 5x = 11 + 2x
Solving
25 + 5x = 11 + 2x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-2x' to each side of the equation.
25 + 5x + -2x = 11 + 2x + -2x
Combine like terms: 5x + -2x = 3x
25 + 3x = 11 + 2x + -2x
Combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0
25 + 3x = 11 + 0
25 + 3x = 11
Add '-25' to each side of the equation.
25 + -25 + 3x = 11 + -25
Combine like terms: 25 + -25 = 0
0 + 3x = 11 + -25
3x = 11 + -25
Combine like terms: 11 + -25 = -14
3x = -14
Divide each side by '3'.
x = -4.666666667
Simplifying
x = -4.666666667
