<h3>Answer: 9</h3>

Explanation:

One method is to do the steps like this

15% of 60 = 0.15*60 = 9

Or you can solve like this

part/whole = percent/100

x/60 = 15/100

100x = 60*15

100x = 900

x = 900/100

x = 9

4x+15=6x-5 solve for x

hram777 [196]

Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Breaking down the equation

$4x+15=6x-5\\4x+15-15=6x-5-15\\4x=6x-20\\4x-6x=6x-20-6x\\-2x=-20\\\frac{-2x}{-2}=\frac{-20}{-2}$

Simplification

$\frac{-2x}{-2}\\=\frac{2x}{2} (\frac{-x}{-y} = \frac{x}{y})\\\frac{2}{2} = 1 = x\\\\\frac{-20}{-2}\\=\frac{20}{2}\\\frac{20}{2}\\=10$
