20%2B15x-10x%2B5x=5x%2B25 Start with the given equation.


10x%2B20=5x%2B25 Combine like terms on the left side.


10x=5x%2B25-20 Subtract 20 from both sides.


10x-5x=25-20 Subtract 5x from both sides.


5x=25-20 Combine like terms on the left side.


5x=5 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%285%29%2F%285%29 Divide both sides by 5 to isolate x.


x=1 Reduce.
