5x - 10u = 25

Explanation:

Assuming we want to solve the equation \(5x - 10y = 25\) (assuming the typo \(u\) is \(y\)) for \(x\) or simplify it. Let's solve for \(x\):

Step1: Add \(10y\) to both sides

\(5x - 10y + 10y = 25 + 10y\)
Simplifies to \(5x = 25 + 10y\)

Step2: Divide both sides by 5

\(\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{25 + 10y}{5}\)
Simplify each term: \(x = 5 + 2y\)

If we want to solve for \(y\):

Step1: Subtract \(5x\) from both sides

\(5x - 10y-5x = 25 - 5x\)
Simplifies to \(- 10y=25 - 5x\)

Step2: Divide both sides by - 10

\(\frac{-10y}{-10}=\frac{25 - 5x}{-10}\)
Simplify: \(y=\frac{5x - 25}{10}=\frac{x - 5}{2}\) or \(y = 0.5x-2.5\)

Or if we want to simplify the original equation by dividing all terms by 5:

Step1: Divide each term by 5

\(\frac{5x}{5}-\frac{10y}{5}=\frac{25}{5}\)
Simplifies to \(x - 2y = 5\)

Answer:

If solving for \(x\): \(x = 2y + 5\)

If solving for \(y\): \(y=\frac{x - 5}{2}\) (or \(y = 0.5x - 2.5\))

If simplifying: \(x - 2y = 5\)
