#x=-7#

#3=(x+25)/6#

Multiply by #6# on both sides.

#3*6=(cancel6(x+25))/cancel6#

#x+25=18#

Subtract #25# from both sides.

#x=18-25#

#x=-7#

#x=-7#

#3=(x+25)/6#

Let's start by doing *cross multiply

#x + 25 = 3**6#

#x + 25 = 18#

Subtract #25# from both sides

#xcancel(+25)cancelcolor(red)(-25)=18-color(red)(25)#

#x=-7#
