Question

What's the answer to this question 5x-15=-65

Answer 1

x=-10

Explanation:

First, we know that 5*10 = 50

50 + 15 = 65, but we want -65

So 5*-10=-50

-50-15=-65

Answer 2

x=-10

Explanation:

5x-15 = -65

Add 15 to each side

5x-15+15 =-65+15

5x = -50

Divide by 5 on each side

5x/5 = -50/5

x = -10
