Question

Please need help!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

5(2x-8) + 15 = - 15

To begin with, we need to distribute the 5 inside the parentheses

5(2x) + 5(-8) + 15 = -15

10x - 40 + 15 = -15

now we add 15 to -40

10x -25 = -15

now we add +25 for both side

10x = -15 + 25

10x = 10

now we divide both side by 10

x = 1

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So we would have to multiply the "2x - 8" by 5 each resulting in 10x - 40 + 15. Then we subtract which results in 10x - 25 = - 15. We add 25 to 25 and 15 resulting in 10x = 10. We divide each by 10 which results in x = 1.
