Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Reduce the fraction \frac{60}{100} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 20.

$$\frac{3}{5}x+25=40$$

Subtract 25 from both sides.

$$\frac{3}{5}x=40-25$$

Subtract 25 from 40 to get 15.

Multiply both sides by \frac{5}{3}, the reciprocal of \frac{3}{5}.

$$x=15\times \frac{5}{3}$$

Express 15\times \frac{5}{3} as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{15\times 5}{3}$$

Multiply 15 and 5 to get 75.

$$x=\frac{75}{3}$$

Divide 75 by 3 to get 25.
