Answer:

20x - 45

Explanation:

Start by grouping like terms ( -5x and 25x) , ( -15 and -30):

= -5x + 25x - 15 - 30

Subtract the numbers: -15 -30 = -45

= -5x + 25x - 45

Combine like terms ( 5x and 25x):

= 20x - 45

Answer:


\boxed{\sf{20x-45}}

Explanation:

To solve this problem, all you have to do is isolate the x from one side of the equation.

-5x-15+25x-30

First, you have to combine like terms.

→ -5x+25x-15-30

Then, you subtract the numbers from left to right.

→ -15-30=-45

Rewrite the problem down.

→ -5x+25x-45

By similar, add to elements.

→ -5x+25x=20x

Rewrite the problem down.

⇒ 20x-45

  • Therefore, the correct answer is 20x-45.

I hope this helps you! Let me know if my answer is wrong or not.
