Solve 5x-(3+5^2)*2^2=2x-8

$$5x-(3+ { 5 }^{ 2 } ) \times { 2 }^{ 2 } =2x-8$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{104}{3} = 34\frac{2}{3} \approx 34.666666667$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Calculate 5 to the power of 2 and get 25.

$$5x-\left(3+25\right)\times 2^{2}=2x-8$$

Add 3 and 25 to get 28.

$$5x-28\times 2^{2}=2x-8$$

Calculate 2 to the power of 2 and get 4.

$$5x-28\times 4=2x-8$$

Multiply 28 and 4 to get 112.

$$5x-112=2x-8$$

Subtract 2x from both sides.

$$5x-112-2x=-8$$

Combine 5x and -2x to get 3x.

$$3x-112=-8$$

Add 112 to both sides.

$$3x=-8+112$$

Add -8 and 112 to get 104.

$$3x=104$$

Divide both sides by 3.

$$x=\frac{104}{3}$$
