Question

15-5(365x) = 1,840 What does x equal?

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to your question is x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

                         15 - 5(365x) = 1840

Process

1.- Subtract 15 in both sides of the equation

                       15 - 5(365x) - 15 = 1840 -15

2.- Simplify

                            -5(365x) = 1825

3.- Divide by -5 both sides

                            -5(365x)/-5 = 1825/-5

4.- Simplify

                                365x = -365

5.- Divide by 365 both sides

                                365x/365 = -365/365

6.- Simplify

                                x = -1                                                  

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 15 in both sides of the equation

 15 - 5(365x) - 15 = 1840 -15

 -5(365x) = 1825

Divide by -5 both sides

                          

-5(365x)/-5 = 1825/-5

-365x=365

Divide by 365 both sides

 365x/365 = -365/365

x = -1          

Answer check:

substitute for (x)               

15-5(365(1))

15-5(365)

distribute -5

15-(-1825)

two negative becomes positive

15+ 1825

= 1,840
