Answer:

x=-0.2 or -1/5

Explanation:

15x+5=2

Subtract both sides by 5 to cancel out the 5 on the left.

15x=-3

Divide both sides by 15

x=-.2 or -1/5

Answer:

X=-1/5=-0.2

Explanation:

Isolate x on one side of the equation.

15x+5=2

15x+5-5=2-5 (First, subtract by 5 from both sides.)

2-5 (Solve.)

2-5=-3

15x=-3

15x/15=-3/15 (Then, divide by 15 from both sides.)

-3/15 (Solve.)

-3/15=-1/5

-1/5=-0.2

x=-1/5=-0.2

The final answer is x=-1/5=-0.2.
