Skills needed: One-Variable Equations, Solving Equations

1) The first thing is to use P.E.M.D.A.S

There are no Parentheses, or Exponents, so we go to multiplication

The quantity we multiply is:

Using distributive property (which is ), you get:

2) Now, we substitute back in and combine like terms:

Combine the -40 and 15 ()

Then, you will get: ()

3) Add 25 to both sides, to isolate the variable:

, and then -15+25 is 10, so

4) Divide by 10 on both sides, and get
