Solve 25x+15=4(3x-3)+16x+18

$$25 x + 15 = 4 ( 3 x - 3 ) + 16 x + 18$$

Solve for x

$$x=3$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply 4 by 3x-3.

$$25x+15=12x-12+16x+18$$

Combine 12x and 16x to get 28x.

$$25x+15=28x-12+18$$

Add -12 and 18 to get 6.

$$25x+15=28x+6$$

Subtract 28x from both sides.

$$25x+15-28x=6$$

Combine 25x and -28x to get -3x.

$$-3x+15=6$$

Subtract 15 from both sides.

$$-3x=6-15$$

Subtract 15 from 6 to get -9.

$$-3x=-9$$

Divide both sides by -3.

$$x=\frac{-9}{-3}$$

Divide -9 by -3 to get 3.

$$x=3$$
