Answer:

x = -15

Explanation:

[One step multiplication problem]

When solving a one-step multiplication problem the easiest thing to do would be to divide the 'answer' (in this case, 45) by the coefficient (in this case, -3). A negative number times a negative number is a positive number, so x would be a negative number. 45 divided by -3 is -15.

So, x = 15.

Hope this helped!! <3
