Answer:

x=-8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation:

First, we subtract 15 from both sides of the equation.

$\begin{gathered} -5x+15-15=55-15 \\ -5x=40 \end{gathered}$

Next, divide both sides of the equation by -5.

$\begin{gathered} (-5x)/(-5)=(40)/(-5) \\ x=-8 \end{gathered}$

The value of x is -8.
