Question

Solve for x -5(-3x-3)+5x+4=-1

Answer 1

x = -0.95

Explanation:

-5(-3x - 3) + 5x + 4 = 1

15x + 15 + 5x + 4 = 1

20x + 20 = 1

-20 -20

20x = -19

/20 /20

x = -0.95

Answer 2

x = -20/21

Explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

x - 5(-3x - 3) + 5x + 4 = -1

Step 2: Solve for x

Distribute -5: x + 15x + 15 + 5x + 4 = -1

Combine like terms: 21x + 19 = -1

Subtract 19 on both sides: 21x = -20

Divide both sides by 21: x = -20/21
