Original Equation.

5(2x - 8) + 15 = -15

First do what is in the parenthesis.

2 x 1 = 2

2 - 8 = -6

5(-6) + 15 = -15

Multiply 5 x -6 to get -30

-30 + 15 = -15

add 15 + -30 to get -15

-15

x = 1

Hope This Helps!

X is 1.

first, you distribute the 5 into the parentheses.
 5(2x-8)+15=-15 becomes 10x-40+15=-15

then you calculate the sum
10x-40+15=-15 becomes 10x-25=-15

after that you move the constant to the right of the equal sign and change the sign (ex negative becomes positive number)
10x-25=-15 becomes 10x=-15+25

next, you add the constants
10x=-15+25 becomes 10x=10

lastly, you divide the numbers.
10x=10 becomes 1

so x=1

The left side can be written as a square. We can take the square root, then subtract 1.

... (x +1)² = 17

... x +1 = ±√17

... x = -1 ±√17
