Question

- 6x +15 Can anyone please show me the steps of solving this equation​

Answer 1

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.
