Answer:

-7

Explanation:

A equation is given to us and we need to find out the value of x . The given equation is ,


\longrightarrow 3( x +5)=-6

Simplify the parenthesis ,


\longrightarrow 3x + 3(5)=-6

Simplify,


\longrightarrow 3x +15 = -6

Subtracting 15 to both sides ,


\longrightarrow 3x =-6-15

Simplify,


\longrightarrow 3x = -21

Divide both sides by 3,


\longrightarrow x = -7

This is the required answer!
