To solve a linear equation, first isolate the variable term. Then, solve for the variable.

02

Step 2. Isolate the variable term.

Let the equation is5k+25=225

Subtract 25 from both the sides.

5k+25−25=225−255k=200

03

Step 3. Solve for the variable.

Divide both the sides by 5.

5k=2005k5=2005k=40
