Way overcomplicated and still relied on the fact that 27=25+2 in the middle of the solution. You can just do it in the very first step

Thanks for your time commenting.You are right that this problem is really very complicated. But it was emphasized at the beginning of this video that visually, some of you can easily find the value of X ( implying direct substitution and trial and error). Since the equation is complicated to solve, this is the very purpose of this video to show that the intricacies of the steps in solving this equation can be learned.
