Step 2: Simplify

[Distributive Property] Distribute negative:                                                    -5x + 6x² - 6x² + 5xCombine like terms:                                                                                         0

Well if you were to put the problem into words, it'd be:
x/-8 = -25

Thus, to solve for x, multiply both sides by -8:
x/-8(-8) = -25(-8)
x = 200
