x = 8.125
-25(x-4) = 55(x-10)
First, divide the twenty-five and the fifty-five (by multiplying within parenthesis).
55x - 550 = -25x + 100
Add 550 to each side after that.
-25x plus 650 = 55x
Next, multiply both sides by 25.
650 is 80 times.
Divide 80 from both sides after that.
x = 8.125
Finally, swap 8.125 and x.
x equals 8.125

To solve the equation -25(x - 4) = 55(x - 10):
-
Distribute the constants outside the parentheses: -25x + 100 = 55x - 550
-
Combine like terms: -25x - 55x = -550 - 100 -80x = -650
-
Divide both sides by -80: x = (-650) / (-80)
-
Simplify: x = 8.125

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
