Question

Solve the equation for x. 15 = -2x + 3

Answer 1

Answer:

x = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

$-2x+3=15\qquad\text{subtract 3 from both sides}\\\\-2x+3-3=15-3\\\\-2x=12\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-2)}\\\\\dfrac{-2x}{2}=\dfrac{12}{-2}\\\\x=-6$

Answer 2

The answer is -6 because, u will transfer 3 to the other side where 15 is ,so the answer will be 12. Divide 12 by -2 it will be -6.
