Answer 1

\[5+2x-10+\frac{ 12 }{ 3 }=25\]First off, with the fraction, divide 12 by 3.
\[5+2x-10+4=25\]Your result was 4. Now subtract 4 from both sides.
\[5+2x-10+4-4=25-4\]The two 4's cancel out, then simply subtract the right side.
\[5+2x-10=21\]Now add 10 to both sides.
\[5+2x-10+10=21+10\]The two 10's cancel out and just add the right side.
\[5+2x=31\]Now subtract 5 from both sides.
\[5-5+2x=31-5\]The two 5's cancel out and subtract the left side.
\[2x=26\]Now divide 2 by both sides.
\[\frac{ 2x }{ 2 }=\frac{ 26 }{ 2 }\]The two 2's cancel out and divide the right side.
\[x=13\]To check to make sure this is your answer, plug it in.


\[5+2\times13-10+\frac{ 12 }{ 3 }=25\]\[5+26-10+4=25\]\[31-10+4=25\]\[21+4=25\]\[25=25\]
So x=13.
