Answer: x = -3

Explanation:

-x-15-3x=x

subtract x from both sides

-x-15-3x-x=0

Combine -3x and -x to get -4x.

-x-15-4x=0

Add 15 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.

-x-4x=15

Combine -x and -4x to get -5x.

-5x=15

Divide both sides by -5.

x = 15/-5

Divides 15 by -5 to get -3.

x = -3
