Question

2X+15= -3x how do you work this equation​

Answer 1

Answer: $x=-3$

Add 3x to both sides

$2x+15+3x=-3x+3x\\5x+15=0$

Subtract 15 from both sides

$5x+15-15=0-15\\5x=-15$

Divide both sides by 5

$5x/5=-15/5\\x=-3$

Answer 2

Answer:

x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 15 = -3x     (try to move the x-terms to one side, add 3x to both sides)

2x + 15 + 3x = 0

5x + 15 = 0 (subtract 15 from both sides)

5x = 0 - 15

5x = -15    (divide both sides by 5)

x = -15 ÷ 5

x = -3

Hope this helps!
