See the solution process below:

Combine the like terms on the left side of the equation:

$4x + 5 + 25 = 90$

$4x + (5 + 25) = 90$

$4x + 30 = 90$

Next, subtract $color(red)(30)$ from each side of the equation to isolate the $x$ term while keeping the equation balanced:

$4x + 30 - color(red)(30) = 90 - color(red)(30)$

$4x + 0 = 60$

$4x = 60$

Now, divide each side of the equation by $color(red)(4)$ to solve for $x$ while keeping the equation balanced:

$(4x)/color(red)(4) = 60/color(red)(4)$

$(color(red)(cancel(color(black)(4)))x)/cancel(color(red)(4)) = 15$

$x = 15$
