a.
-10
c.
StartFraction 1 Over 10 EndFraction
b.
1
d.
-1

Answer 1

X= -1

Explanation:

`((1)/(3) )(6x)+((1)/(3) )(-15)=((1)/(2) )(10x)+((1)/(2) )(-4)`

(Distribute)

2x+−5=5x+−2

2x−5=5x−2

Step 2: Subtract 5x from both sides.

2x−5−5x=5x−2−5x

−3x−5=−2

Step 3: Add 5 to both sides.

−3x−5+5=−2+5

−3x=3

Step 4: Divide both sides by -3.

Which = -1

Hope this helps :)
