Answer:
You would Use the order of operations
Explanation:
first solve what's inside of the parentheses (2x - 8)
then solve multiplication 5 Ă— (2x - 8)
and finally solve addition + 15
and that will equal -15
x=1
5(2x - 8) + 15 = -15
Distribute
10x -40 +15 = -15
Combine like terms
10x -25 = -15
Add 25 to each side
10x -25+25 = -15+25
10x =10
Divide by 10
10x/10 = 10/10
