Answer 2

Answer:

    $x=2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation:

$-7x + 5 = 8x - 25$

To find the value of 'x', take the terms of 'x' to one side and the constants to the other side:

Subtracting '$5$' to both side:

   $-7x+5-5=8x-25-5\\\\-7x=8x-30$

Subtracting '$8x$' both side:

   $-7x-8x=8x-8x-30\\\\-15x=-30$

          $x=\frac{-30}{-15}$

          $x=2$
