Answer:

X = -5

Explanation:

15 = -2x+5

Subtract 5 From both sides trying to get the (-2x) by itself.

15(-5)=-2x+5 (-5)

10=-2x

10/-2=-2x/-2

Divide both sides by( -2) to get X itself (when X represent the variable.

Ten divided by negative two is negative five , and negative two divided by negative two is one :)

-5 = X which is also

X = -5

AND THAT’s IT
