Answer:

x = 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the right side first:

  1. -2 + 6 = 4
  2. Plug 4 in: 5(4) + 5
  3. 5(4) = 5 × 4 = 20
  4. Plug 20 in: 20 + 5
  5. 20 + 5 = 25

Solve the left side by applying the distributive property:

  1. 6 × x = 6x
  2. 6 × 4 = 24
  3. Put them together: 6x + 24

Re-write the two sides:

  1. 6x + 24 = 25
  2. Begin to solve the equation shown below in steps 3 and 4
  3. Subtract 24 from each side, so it now looks like this: 6x = 1
  4. Divide each side by 6 to cancel out the 6 next to x. It should now look like this: x = 1/6

I hope this helps!
