The solution would be like this for this specific problem:
[tex]\left( { - 5} \right)
\cdot \left( { - \frac{1}{5}} \right) \cdot \left( {x - 25} \right) = 7 \cdot
\left( { - 5} \right)[/tex]
[tex]\left( { - 5} \right)
\cdot \left( { - \frac{1}{5}} \right) = 1[/tex]
The correct sequence of operations when solving
negative one over five (x − 25) = 7 would be multiply each side by −5, and adding
25 to each side.
