1Step 1. Step to solve a linear equation.

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

2Step 2. Isolate the variable term.

Let the equation is 5k+25=225

Subtract 25 from both the sides.

5k+2525=225255k=200

3Step 3. Solve for the variable.

Divide both the sides by 5.

5k=2005k5=2005k=40
