Question

$$775 \div (x+12)=25$$

Solve for x

$x=19$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Variable $x$ cannot be equal to $-12$ since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by $x+12$.

$$775=25\left(x+12\right)$$

Use the distributive property to multiply $25$ by $x+12$.

$$775=25x+300$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$25x+300=775$$

Subtract $300$ from both sides.

$$25x=775-300$$

Subtract $300$ from $775$ to get $475$.

$$25x=475$$

Divide both sides by $25$.

$$x=\frac{475}{25}$$

Divide $475$ by $25$ to get $19$.

$$x=19$$
