In order to determine which is the equivalent equation, simplify the given expression:
-2x + 5 - 3x = 5x + 25 simplify like terms left side
-2x - 3x + 5 = 5x + 25
-5x + 5 = 5x + 25 subtract 5x both sides and subtract 5 both sides
-5x - 5x = 25 - 5 simplify both sides
-10x = 20
Hence,the equivalent expression is -10x = 20
