Question

Solve the following equation for X. X=
-2x – 3.2 – 15 = 20

Answer 1

x = -7

Explanation:

-2x - 3x -15 = 20

-5x = 20 + 15

-5x = 35

x = 35/-5

x = -7

Answer 2

x = -7

Explanation:

-2x - 3x = -5x

so then its -5x - 15

you then add 15 to both sides which gives you -5x = 35

divide -5 from each side to get the answer

-7 = x
