Answer
x=9.6
Work Step by Step
Simplifying
2(25 + -1x) = 3x + 2
(25 * 2 + -1x * 2) = 3x + 2
(50 + -2x) = 3x + 2
Reorder the terms:
50 + -2x = 2 + 3x
Solving
50 + -2x = 2 + 3x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-3x' to each side of the equation.
50 + -2x + -3x = 2 + 3x + -3x
Combine like terms: -2x + -3x = -5x
50 + -5x = 2 + 3x + -3x
Combine like terms: 3x + -3x = 0
50 + -5x = 2 + 0
50 + -5x = 2
Add '-50' to each side of the equation.
50 + -50 + -5x = 2 + -50
Combine like terms: 50 + -50 = 0
0 + -5x = 2 + -50
-5x = 2 + -50
Combine like terms: 2 + -50 = -48
-5x = -48
Divide each side by '-5'.
x = 9.6
Simplifying
x = 9.6
