Answer:

x=-3

Explanation:

First you must start by multiplying the parentheses by -5. Once you do that, your equation comes out to -35x+45-6=144. Then you must combine like terms which comes out to -35x+39=144. After that you must get x by itself, so to do that subtract 39 from 144 which comes out to 105. Then you must do the opposite of multiplication and divide 105 by -35 which comes out to x=-3. Hope this helps
