Question

Solve the equation for x.

Answer 1

Answer:

X= -1

Step-by-step explanation:

$(\frac{1}{3} )(6x)+(\frac{1}{3} )(-15)=(\frac{1}{2} )(10x)+(\frac{1}{2} )(-4)$

(Distribute)

2x+−5=5x+−2

2x−5=5x−2

Step 2: Subtract 5x from both sides.

2x−5−5x=5x−2−5x

−3x−5=−2

Step 3: Add 5 to both sides.

−3x−5+5=−2+5

−3x=3

Step 4: Divide both sides by -3.

Which = -1

Hope this helps :)
