When solving for -1/5(x-25)=7 what is the correct sequence of operations a. multiply each side by -1/5, add 25 to each sideb. multiply each side by 5, subtract 25 from each sidec. multiply each side by -1/5, subtract 25 from each side d. multiply each side by-5, add 25 to each side

A sequence of operations that will get you to the solution is ...

... d. multiply each side by-5, add 25 to each side

That is not the only correct sequence of operations. However the other ones listed here are incorrect ways to get to x = -10.

You can do whatever multiplication and addition you like to each side of the equation, but if those operations are poorly chosen, they will make finding the solution more difficult.

step-by-step explanation:

example 2 – simplify: step 1: completely factor both the numerators and denominators of all fractions. step 2: change the division sign to a multiplication sign and flip (or reciprocate) the fraction after the division sign; essential you need to multiply by the reciprocal. step 3 : cancel or reduce the fractions.
