1000-x=-25-5x
Multiply both sides of the equation by 5.
1000-x+5x=-25
Add 5x to both sides.
-x+5x=-25-1000
Subtract 1000 from both sides.
-x+5x=-1025
Subtract 1000 from -25 to get -1025.
4x=-1025
Combine -x and 5x to get 4x.
x=\frac{-1025}{4}
Divide both sides by 4.
x=-\frac{1025}{4}
Fraction \frac{-1025}{4} can be rewritten as -\frac{1025}{4} by extracting the negative sign.
