Answer:x=-23

start out with adding 15 to bother sides

Add 15 to both sides 6x-15+15=-153+15

then you simplify it 6x=-138'then you divide both sides by 6 6x/6=-138/6 you simplify it again then you should get x=-23

hope i helped

6x-15=-153

Add '15' on both LHS and RHS of the above expression.


\begin{gathered} 6x-15+15=-153+15 \\ 6x+0=-138 \\ 6x=-138 \end{gathered}

Divide RHS and LHS of the above expression with six.


\begin{gathered} (6x)/(6)=(-138)/(6) \\ x=-23 \end{gathered}

Thus, the value of x is -23.
