Question

Solve -3(x+5) = -9 solve

Answer 1

Answer:

x=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

-3(x+5) = -9

-3-15=-9

     +15  +15

-------------------------

-3= 6

-3 = -3

------------

x=-2

Answer 2

-3(x + 5) = -9
-3x + -15 = -9
-3x - 15 = -9
-3x - 15 + 15 = -9 + 15 (we added 15 to both sides of the equation because now, the 15 on the left side cancels out).
-3x = 6
-3x/-3 = 6/-3
X = -2
So, in conclusion, X is equal to -2.
