Answer:
-6x + 15 = - 69 which x = 14
Step-by-step explanation:
You cannot solve this equation. There is no equal sign anywhere. Either you mean
-6x = 15 in which case the answer is
-6x/-6 = 15/-6
x = - 2 1/2 or x= - 2.5
or you mean that you use the distributive property
- 3(2x + 5)
You may have left something out of this.
-6x + 15 = - 69
You can do it now that you have the complete equation. But you need the entire equation before you can answer the question.
Subtract - 15 from both sides.
-6x + 15 - 15 = -69 - 15
-6x = - 84
Divide by - 6
-6x/-6 = - 84/-6
x = 14
But what you want is
-6x + 15
-6*14 + 15
-84 + 15
-69
-6x + 15 = - 69
when x = 14 which is usually what you are asked.
