solve -5 + 25x + 5(-8 - 2) = -4x - 8x
Do the math inside the brackets
-5 + 25x + 5(-10) = -4x - 8x
multiply inside the brackets by 5, this removes the brackets, add like terms on the right side
-5 + 25x - 50 = -12x
25x - 55 = -12x
25x + 12x = 55
37x = 55
x = 55/37
:
You can check this, replace x with 55/37, use your calc
