How would you explain the steps needed to solve 5x=25?

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, and any other equation, you need to isolate the variable. This means that all constants need to be moved to the other side of the equal sign. To do this you should use the division property of equality. This property states that an equation can be divided by anything as long the same thing is done to both sides; this ensures everything remains equal. So both sides should be divided by 5,

5x/5=25/5, which simplifies to x=5.
