Answer:

x =2

Explanation:

for this problem your solving for x so to do that you have to get it alone

so subtract 15 by both sides --> 3 -15 = -6x +15-15

getting --> -12 = -6x

now divide by -6 by both sides getting x = 2

Answer: x = 2

Explanation:

3= -6x +15

Step 1: make x the subject

-6x= 3-15

-6x= -12

Step 2: Divide both sides by -6 to get the value of x;

x= -12/-6

x=2

Plug in x =2 into the initial equation:

3= -6(2) +15

3= -12 +15

x = 2 is the correct answer
