Question

Write the word sentence as an equation. Then solve.

Answer 1

Answer:

As an equation: 15 × x = -75

Solved: x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

15*x = -75

$\frac{15*x}{15}$ = $-\frac{75}{15}$, Divide by 15 on both sides to solve for x

x=$-\frac{75}{15}$, The 15 in the numerator cancels out with the denominator

x= -5, because 75/15=5

Answer 2

Equation: (-5)(15) = -75

Solution : (x)(15) or (written as, x times 15 )= -75
For x= -5 ( substitute x into -5)
(-5)(15) or written as, negative 5 times 15= -75
