Answer 1

x=-15

Answer 2

What's the question?

Answer 3

are you trying to find what x is?

Answer 4

if you are then @GloriaSCastillo is correct

Answer 5

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

Answer 6

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.

Answer 7

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
