Answer:

B) -1-6 x +15 = x - 15 +15

Explanation:

Explanation:-

Given equation is –1 – 6 x = x – 15

By addition property of equality

⇒ - 1 - 6 x + 15 = x - 15 +15

⇒ - 6 x + 14 = x

subtracting 'x' on both sides ,we get

⇒ - 6 x -x +14 =0

⇒ - 7 x +14 =0

⇒ -7 x = - 14

Dividing '-7' on both sides , we get

x = 2

The solution of given equation is x = 2
