Answer: Multiply each side by −5, add 25 to each side
Step-by-step explanation:
Given expression: \(\frac{-1}{5}(x-25)=7\)
According to the BODMAS (bracket, of, divide, multiply, add, subtract), to solve for x, we need to first multiply -5 on both sides, we get
\(x-25=7\times-5\\\Rightarrow x-25=-35\)
Now, add 25 on both sides, we get
\(x-25+25=7+25\\\Rightarrow\ x=32\)
Hence, the correct sequence of operations is "Multiply each side by −5, add 25 to each side".
