15x+x-25=1+25x
Multiply both sides of the equation by 5.
16x-25=1+25x
Combine 15x and x to get 16x.
16x-25-25x=1
Subtract 25x from both sides.
-9x-25=1
Combine 16x and -25x to get -9x.
-9x=1+25
Add 25 to both sides.
-9x=26
Add 1 and 25 to get 26.
x=\frac{26}{-9}
Divide both sides by -9.
x=-\frac{26}{9}
Fraction \frac{26}{-9} can be rewritten as -\frac{26}{9} by extracting the negative sign.
