The answer is x = 5/3


Here’s why

1.subtract 30 both sides
-15x = 5 - 30

2.simplify 5 - 30 to -25
-15x = -25

3.Divide both sides by -15
x = -25 / -15

4. Two negatives make a positive
x = 25 / 15

5. Simplify 25/15 to 5/3
x = 5/3

Decimal form: 1.66667

Answer:

It is 1.66666667

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out x, you do -25 divided by -15 which = 1.66667.

It is -25 because -25 + 30 = 5

So, -15 times x have to equal -25
