yeah

Answer 5

if so start by multiplying both sides by 25 to rid yourself of the fraction you should end up with 5x-10=4x+2

Answer 6

then you want to isolate the x variable on one side of the = bar
so subtract the 4x from both sides
you will end up with x-10=2

and continue isolating the x you +10 to both sides leaving you with x=12
