Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
−5(4x−5)=5x
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
−5(4x−5)=5x
(−5)(4x)+(−5)(−5)=5x(Distribute)
−20x+25=5x
Step 2: Subtract 5x from both sides.
−20x+25−5x=5x−5x
−25x+25=0
Step 3: Subtract 25 from both sides.
−25x+25−25=0−25
−25x=−25
Step 4: Divide both sides by -25.
-25x/-25=-25/-25
Therefore, the answer is x=1.
