It means (X + 5)/3 = 25 I guess.

If one third of the sum of x + 5 = 25 then the whole sum equals 75. So if x + 5 = 75 then x = 70.

the sum of x and 5:
x + 5
one third of the sum of x and 5
1/3 (x + 5)
It is equal to 25,so
(x + 5)/3 = 25
Cross-multiply
x + 5 = 75
Transpose 5
x = 75 - 5
Simplify
x = 70
The value of x is 70. What is your question?

It means X+5/3=25. So what plus five equals 25 times three? 70

1/3(x+5) = 25
x + 5 = 25(3)
x + 5 = 75
x = 75 - 5
x = 70

X + 5 = 25x3
x + 5 = 75
x = 75 - 5
x = 70

(x+5)/3=25
multiply both sides by 3 to get:
x+5=75
subtract 5 from both sides and you get x by itself:
x=70
