15+\left(x-5\right)\times 7=25
Variable x cannot be equal to 5 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x-5.
15+7x-35=25
Use the distributive property to multiply x-5 by 7.
-20+7x=25
Subtract 35 from 15 to get -20.
7x=25+20
Add 20 to both sides.
7x=45
Add 25 and 20 to get 45.
x=\frac{45}{7}
Divide both sides by 7.
