Use the Distributive Property to solve the equation 25 - (3x + 5) = 2 (x + 8) + X.

Solve the equation.

25 - 75 x - 125 = 2x + 16 + x

20 - x = x+

20 - __*=

x = - 4

x=1

    x=2/3

    Step-by-step explanation:

    25 - (3x+5) = 2 (x+8) + x

    25-3x-5=2x+16+x

    20-3x=3x+16

    20-3x-3x=16

    20-6x=16

    6x=20-16

    6x=4

    x=4/6

    simplify

    x=2/3
