5%28x-5%29%2B8x=9x-25 Start with the given equation



5x-25%2B8x=9x-25 Distribute


13x-25=9x-25 Combine like terms on the left side


13x=9x-25%2B25Add 25 to both sides


13x-9x=-25%2B25 Subtract 9x from both sides


4x=-25%2B25 Combine like terms on the left side


4x=0 Combine like terms on the right side


x=%280%29%2F%284%29 Divide both sides by 4 to isolate x



x=0 Divide
