Question 119317


{{{25=(5/9)(x+32)}}} Start with the given equation




{{{(9)(25)=(9)((5/9)(x+32))}}} Multiply both sides by the LCM of 9. This will eliminate the fractions  (note: if you need help with finding the LCM, check out this <a href=http://www.algebra.com/algebra/homework/divisibility/least-common-multiple.solver>solver</a>)




{{{225=5(x+32)}}} Distribute and multiply the LCM to each side




{{{225=5x+160}}} Distribute



{{{0=5x+160-225}}}Subtract 225 from both sides



{{{-5x=160-225}}} Subtract 5x from both sides



{{{-5x=-65}}} Combine like terms on the right side



{{{x=(-65)/(-5)}}} Divide both sides by -5 to isolate x




{{{x=13}}} Divide

Answer:

So our answer is {{{x=13}}}
