Given the equation
[tex]5(x-7)=25[/tex]First, open the bracket on the left-hand side.
[tex]5x-35=25[/tex]Next, add 35 to both sides of the equation.
[tex]\begin{gathered} 5x-35+35=25+35 \\ 5x=60 \end{gathered}[/tex]To solve for x, divide both sides by 5.
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{5x}{5}=\frac{60}{5} \\ x=12 \end{gathered}[/tex]The value of x is 12.
