Answer:

x = 1.2

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you distribute -5 within the parenthesis

37 - 25x + 5 = 12

Next, combine like terms

42 - 25x = 12

Then, subtract 42 from both sides of the equation

-25x = -30

After that, divide both by -1

25x = 30

Finally, divide 25 on both sides of the equation to get:

x = 1.2

I hope this helps! :)
