Question

An equation is shown below:

Answer 1

5(2x-8)+15=-15
10x-40+15=-15
10x-25=-15
10x=10
x=1

Answer 2

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
