-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

Follow PEMDAS.

Parenthesis
Exponents
Multiplication & Division
Addition & Subtraction

Alright, do multiplication first, then division. Then, do subtraction then addition.

7-1*0+3/3= \\ 7-0+3/3= \\ 7 - 0 + 1= \\ 7 + 1 = 8 \\ 7-1*0+3/3 =8
