| 25 | x | = | ( | x | + | 2 | ) | × | 25 | × | 4 5 | + | 5 |
| Right side of the equation = | ( | x | + | 2 | ) | × | 20 | + | 5 |
| 25 | x | = | ( | x | + | 2 | ) | × | 20 | + | 5 |
| Right side of the equation = | x | × | 20 | + | 2 | × | 20 | + | 5 |
| = | x | × | 20 | + | 40 | + | 5 |
| = | 20 | x | + | 45 |
| 25 | x | = | 20 | x | + | 45 |
| 25 | x | − | 20 | x | = | 45 |
| 5 | x | = | 45 |
| x | = | 45 | ÷ | 5 |
