25x%2F5-7x=12

Step 1. Multiply by 5 to both sides of the equation to get rid of denominator.

5%2A25x%2F5-5%2A7x=5%2A12

25x-35x=60

-10x=60

Step 2. Divide by -10 to both sides equation.

-10x%2F-10=60%2F-10

x=-6

Step 3. ANSWER: The solution is x=-6

I hope the above steps and explanation were helpful.
