Solving for x
To solve for the value of 3/5x, we can start by distributing.
-86 = 4 + 5(3x - 3) → -86 = 4 + 15x - 15
-86 = 15x - 11
Add 11 to both sides
-86 = 15x - 11 → -75 = 15x
Divide both sides by the coefficient
-75 = 15x → -5 = x
Therefore, x = -5.
Plugging in -5 for x
To find the value of 3/5x, we can plug in -5 for x.
3/5(-5) = -3
Hence, the value of 3/5x is -3.
