Let's solve the equation x/5 = 25 step by step!
1. First, we see that x is being divided by 5. To get x by itself, we need to do the opposite of dividing. The opposite of dividing by 5 is multiplying by 5.
2. So, we will multiply both sides of the equation by 5. That looks like this:
x/5 * 5 = 25 * 5
3. When we multiply x/5 by 5, the 5s on the top and bottom cancel each other out. So we just have:
x = 25 * 5
4. Now let's multiply 25 by 5. If we count by fives, we get:
- 5, 10, 15, 20, 25
- 30, 35, 40, 45, 50
- 55
So, 25 times 5 equals 125.
5. Therefore, x = 125.
So the answer is that x is 125!
