25+\left(x-5\right)\times 9=7
Variable x cannot be equal to 5 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x-5.
25+9x-45=7
Use the distributive property to multiply x-5 by 9.
-20+9x=7
Subtract 45 from 25 to get -20.
9x=7+20
Add 20 to both sides.
9x=27
Add 7 and 20 to get 27.
x=\frac{27}{9}
Divide both sides by 9.
x=3
Divide 27 by 9 to get 3.
