Question

The product of 15 and a number X is -75. Write the equation, and solution for X.

Answer 1

Answer:

x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

15*x = -75

divide both sides by 15

(15x)/15 = -75/15

x = -5

Answer 2

Answer: $x = -5$

Step-by-step explanation:

If a product of 15 and an unknown number equals -75 the equation should look like this:

$15x = -75$

Now to solve for x:

1. $\frac{15x}{15} = \frac{-75}{15}$

2. $x = -5$
