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.
Answer:
subtract from both sides and then multiplying both sides

Answer:
1
Step-by-step explanation:

15-b=4b-5(5-3)
Multiply the bracket by -5
(-5)(5)=-25
(-5)(-3)=15
15-b=4b-25+15
15-b=4b-10
Move 15 to the other side
Sign changes from +15 to -15
15-15-b=4b-10-15
-b=4b-25
Move 4b to the other side.
-b-4b=4b-4b-25
-b-4b=-25
-5b=-25
divide both sides by -5
-5b/-5=-25/-5
Answer: b=5
