Question

15-5(365x) = 1,840

What does x equal?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Subtract 15 in both sides of the equation

15 - 5(365x) - 15 = 1840 -15

-5(365x) = 1825

Divide by -5 both sides

-5(365x)/-5 = 1825/-5

-365x=365

Divide by 365 both sides

365x/365 = -365/365

x = -1

Answer check:

substitute for (x)

15-5(365(1))

15-5(365)

distribute -5

15-(-1825)

two negative becomes positive

15+ 1825

= 1,840

Answer 2

The answer to your question is x = -1

Explanation:

15 - 5(365x) = 1840

Process

1.- Subtract 15 in both sides of the equation

15 - 5(365x) - 15 = 1840 -15

2.- Simplify

-5(365x) = 1825

3.- Divide by -5 both sides

-5(365x)/-5 = 1825/-5

4.- Simplify

365x = -365

5.- Divide by 365 both sides

365x/365 = -365/365

6.- Simplify

x = -1
