The value of x is [tex]\frac{23}{5}[/tex]
Explanation:
The expression is [tex]25=-8+5(x+2)[/tex]
Multiplying 5 within the bracket, we get,
[tex]25=-8+5x+10[/tex]
Adding the like terms,
[tex]25=5x+2[/tex]
Subtracting both sides by 2, we have,
[tex]23=5x[/tex]
Dividing both sides by 5,
[tex]\frac{23}{5} =x[/tex]
Thus, the value of x is [tex]\frac{23}{5}[/tex]
