The last one is correct because 60+35+35+35=165
55+55+55=165
Answer:
by my best guess, x = -5 (negative five)
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Positive.
Step-by-step explanation:
When you see two negative signs directly next to each other (as shown in the given expression), it will become a positive sign:
7 - (-4) = 7 + 4 = 11
Positive is your answer.
* To be fair, even if there is only one negative sign, the answer will still be positive, however, I am assuming you are suggesting only the sign, and not the answer.

5(2x - 8) + 15 = -15
-15 -15 subtract 15 from each side
5(2x - 8) = -30
÷5 ÷5 divide both sides by 5
2x - 8 = -6
+8 +8 add 8 to each side
2x=2
÷2 ÷2 divide both sides by 3
x = 1
Checking:
5(2(1)-8) + 15 = -15
5(-6) + 15 = -15
-30 + 15 = -15
-15 = -15 Correct! x=1
