Simplify both sides of the equation

-25(x-4)=-55(x-10)

(-25)(x) + (-25)(-4)=(-55)(x) + (-55) (-10)

Distribute

-25x+100=-55x+550

Add 55x  to both sides

-25x+100+55x=-55x+550+55x

30x+100-100=550-100

subtract 100 from both sides

30x+100-100=550-100

30x=450

divide both sides by 30

30x/30=450/30

x= 15

The value of x is 15


I hope that's help you my friend !
