Question

Find the value of xif 3(x + 5 ) =-6​

Answer 1

-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!
