Solve for x 5/12x-25=0

$\frac{5}{12} x - 25 = 0$

Step 1

Combine $\frac{5}{12}$ and $x$ .

$\frac{5 x}{12} - 25 = 0$

Step 2

Add $25$ to both sides of the equation.

$\frac{5 x}{12} = 25$

Step 3

Multiply both sides of the equation by $\frac{12}{5}$ .

$\frac{12}{5} \cdot \frac{5 x}{12} = \frac{12}{5} \cdot 25$

Step 4

Simplify both sides of the equation.

Simplify the left side.

Simplify $\frac{12}{5} \cdot \frac{5 x}{12}$ .

Cancel the common factor of $12$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{12}{5} \cdot \frac{5 x}{12} = \frac{12}{5} \cdot 25$

Rewrite the expression.

$\frac{1}{5} (5 x) = \frac{12}{5} \cdot 25$

Cancel the common factor of $5$ .

Factor $5$ out of $5 x$ .

$\frac{1}{5} (5 (x)) = \frac{12}{5} \cdot 25$

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{1}{5} (5 x) = \frac{12}{5} \cdot 25$

Rewrite the expression.

$x = \frac{12}{5} \cdot 25$

Simplify the right side.

Simplify $\frac{12}{5} \cdot 25$ .

Cancel the common factor of $5$ .

Factor $5$ out of $25$ .

$x = \frac{12}{5} \cdot (5 (5))$

Cancel the common factor.

$x = \frac{12}{5} \cdot (5 \cdot 5)$

Rewrite the expression.

$x = 12 \cdot 5$

Multiply $12$ by $5$ .

$x = 60$
