mx+5x-m^{2}+25=0
Use the distributive property to multiply m+5 by x.
mx+5x+25=m^{2}
Add m^{2} to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
mx+5x=m^{2}-25
Subtract 25 from both sides.
\left(m+5\right)x=m^{2}-25
Combine all terms containing x.
\frac{\left(m+5\right)x}{m+5}=\frac{m^{2}-25}{m+5}
Divide both sides by m+5.
x=\frac{m^{2}-25}{m+5}
Dividing by m+5 undoes the multiplication by m+5.
x=m-5
Divide m^{2}-25 by m+5.
mx+5x-m^{2}+25=0

Subtract 25 from both sides.
\left(m+5\right)x=m^{2}-25
Combine all terms containing x.
\frac{\left(m+5\right)x}{m+5}=\frac{m^{2}-25}{m+5}
Divide both sides by 5+m.
x=\frac{m^{2}-25}{m+5}
Dividing by 5+m undoes the multiplication by 5+m.
x=m-5
Divide m^{2}-25 by 5+m.
