is -5(1+5x)-5x=25 No solution or all real numbers?

mxddi3:

ok so first,you need to distribute the -5 to everything in the parenthesis. this gives you -5-5x-5x=25. now,combine like terms and what is -5x - 5x?

hbeaty1:

-10x

mxddi3:

so now you have -5-10x=25 solve it out, please

hbeaty1:

x=-3

mxddi3:

yh so the answer is what then?

hbeaty1:

All real numbers

darkknight:

actually the answer is not all real numbers, this is because x only equals -3, not all real numbers, so shouldn't it be neither no solution nor all real numbers
