Answer:
x = [tex]\frac{5}{4}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
3(x - 5) - 5x = - 25 + 6x ← distribute parenthesis and simplify left side
3x - 15 - 5x = - 25 + 6x
- 2x - 15 = - 25 + 6x ( subtract 6x from both sides )
- 8x - 15 = - 25 ( add 15 to both sides )
- 8x = - 10 ( divide both sides by - 8 )
x = [tex]\frac{-10}{-8}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{5}{4}[/tex]
