r+x-2=-3-5x+25
Use the distributive property to multiply -5 by x-5.
r+x-2=22-5x
Add -3 and 25 to get 22.
r-2=22-5x-x
Subtract x from both sides.
r-2=22-6x
Combine -5x and -x to get -6x.
r=22-6x+2
Add 2 to both sides.
r=24-6x
Add 22 and 2 to get 24.
r+x-2=-3-5x+25
Use the distributive property to multiply -5 by x-5.
r+x-2=22-5x
Add -3 and 25 to get 22.
r+x-2+5x=22
Add 5x to both sides.
r+6x-2=22
Combine x and 5x to get 6x.
6x-2=22-r
Subtract r from both sides.
6x=22-r+2
Add 2 to both sides.
6x=24-r
Add 22 and 2 to get 24.
\frac{6x}{6}=\frac{24-r}{6}
Divide both sides by 6.
x=\frac{24-r}{6}
Dividing by 6 undoes the multiplication by 6.
x=-\frac{r}{6}+4
Divide 24-r by 6.
