Solve the following: -7x + 5 = 8x - 25

explain you < 3

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Reorder the terms:

-5 + 7x = 25 + -8x

Add '8x' to each side of the equation:

-5 + (7x + 8x) = 25 + (-8x + 8x)

Combine like terms: 7x + 8x = 15x :

-5 + 15x = 25 + -8x + 8x

Combine like terms: -8x + 8x = 0

-5 + 15x = 25 + 0

-5 + 15x = 25

Combine like terms: 25 + 5 = 30 :

15x = 30

Divide each side by '15':

x = 2

Idon't think the question is clearly stated but i think this fact would :   in 2015, there were  11.8 million  college and university students under age  25  and  8.1 million students 25  years old and over.hope this !
