Question

5(2x - 8) + 15 = -15
what is the solution? what are the steps to find the solution?

Answer 1

So first you will use the distributive property and get 10x-40+15=-15 then combine like terms making it 10x-25=-15 then use the addition property of equality to get 10x=10 and then divide each side by 10 to find that x=1
