Question

What is X in the equation -15x+15(-4)=-30

Answer 1

Answer: x=-2 *The answer should be the negative sign.*

Step-by-step explanation:

distributive property: a(b+c)=ab+ac

remove parenthesis

-15x-15*4=-30

15*4=60

-15x-60=-30

add 60 both sides of an equation.

-15x-60+60=-30+60

simplify.

-15x=30

divide by -15 both sides of an equation.

-15x/-15=30/-15

simplify.

30/15=2

x=-2
