-2x + 5 = -1

subtract 5 from both sides: -2x = -6

divide each side by -2: x = 3

plug in 3: 5(3)

multiply: 15

the value of 5x is 15.

First, solve for x.

-2x + 5 = -1

Isolate the x. Note the equal sign. What you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

First, subtract 5 from both sides

-2x + 5 (-5) = -1 (-5)

-2x = -6

Next, divide -2 from both sides

-2x/-2 = -6/-2

x = -6/-2

x = 3

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Plug in 3 for x

5x = 5(3) = 5 x 3 = 15

15 is your answer

hope this helps

The answer should not depend on which machine or which pencil you use to
find it.  If you work a problem two different ways and get two different answers,
then at least one of them is wrong, and there's a pretty good chance that both
of them are.

(9.99 of anything) + (1.11 of the same thing) = 11.1 of them

9.99 (x 10^-2) + 1.11 (x 10^-2) = <em>11.1 (x 10^-2)</em> .

Can we do any more with that ?

10^-2  =  1 / 10^2  =  1 / 100 .

11.1 x 10^-2  =  11.1 / 100  =  <em>0.111</em>

Let’s condense the original expression and see if that’s one of the answers

-1/2(-3/2 x + 6x + 1) - 3x

First we distribute the -1/2

((-1/2)(-3/2 x) + (-1/2)(6x) + (-1/2)(1)) -3x

3/4x - 3x - 1/2 -3x

Combine like terms

(3/4 x - 3x - 3x) -1/2

-21/4 x - 1/2

We could make this a mixed number

-5 1/4 x - 1/2

(Mixed number: 5 times 4 plus one gets the numerator)

So the answer is D
