# 1


{{{25-x=13+2}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{25-x=15}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{-x=15-25}}} Subtract {{{25}}} from both sides.



{{{-x=-10}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(-10)/(-1)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-1}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=10}}} Reduce.



----------------


Answer:


So the solution is {{{x=10}}} 


=============================================


# 2


{{{17+x=7+25}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{17+x=32}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=32-17}}} Subtract {{{17}}} from both sides.



{{{x=15}}} Combine like terms on the right side.
