Question

4. Solve for x please help!!

Answer 1

Answer:

$- 3x = 15 \\ \frac{ - 3x}{ - 3} = \frac{15}{ - 3} \\ x = - 5$

Answer 2

Answer:

x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable x:

-3x = 15

Since x is being multiplied by -3, we must find a way to cancel it out. To cancel -3 being multipled, divide by -3 instead. Remember, whatever we do to one side of the equation, we must do to the other!

-3x ÷ -3 = 15 ÷ -3

1x = -5

x = -5
