Solution - Linear equations with one unknown

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

                     5^3*x-(40)=0 

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  (53 • x) -  40  = 0 

Step  2  :

Step  3  :

Pulling out like terms :

 3.1     Pull out like factors :

   125x - 40  =   5 • (25x - 8) 

Equation at the end of step  3  :

  5 • (25x - 8)  = 0 

Step  4  :

Equations which are never true :

 4.1      Solve :    5   =  0

This equation has no solution.
A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

 4.2      Solve  :    25x-8 = 0 

 Add  8  to both sides of the equation : 
                      25x = 8
Divide both sides of the equation by 25:
                     x = 8/25 = 0.320
