Answer:
x=0
Explanation:
5x - 15 = 5(-4x - 3)
To find the solution to this equation, we have to get x by itself on one side of the equation.
First, distribute the 5 on the right side. Multiply each term by 5.
5x - 15= (5*-4x) + (5*-3)
5x-15 = -20x + (5*-3)
5x-15= -20x -15
Next, add 20x to both sides of the equation.
(5x+20x) -15 = (-20x+20x) -15
(5+20x) -15 = -15
25x -15=-15
Next, add 15 to both sides of the equation.
25x -15 +15 = -15+15
25x= -15+15
25x=0
Finally, divide both sides of the equation by 25.
25x/25=0/25
x= 0/25
x= 0
The solution to this equation is x=0
