anonymous · Answer

5(x+1)=3x-25
5x+5=3x-25
2x+5=-25
2x=-30
X= -15

anonymous · Answer

The answer is -10.
You have to distribute the 5 to x and 1. Then the equation becomes 5x+5=3x-20
Then you can subtract 5 from both sides. Now the equation is 5x=3x-20. Next you can subtract 3x from both sides. After doing that the equation is now 2x=-20. Now all you do is divide -20 by 2 and you get -10.

Distributive Property:
 5(x+1)=3x-25
5x + 5 = 3x - 25


Combine Like Terms:
5x + 5 = 3x - 25
 -3x         -3x

2x + 5 = -25
      -5      -5

Divide on both sides:
2x = -30
/2         /2

x = -15
