Consider the equation 5x−3=25x - 3 = 2. a. (i) State the property of equality that permits the same number to be added to both sides of an equation. b. (ii) Starting from 5x−3=25x - 3 = 2, solve for xx, clearly mentioning the reason for each transformation you perform. c. (iii) Substitute the value of xx obtained in part (ii) into the original equation and show that both sides become equal.
