Question

- 2(3x - 15) = 60

(1 point)

Answer 1

To solve the equation, we will first distribute the -2 to the terms inside the parentheses:

-2(3x - 15) = 60

-6x + 30 = 60

Next, we will isolate the variable by subtracting 30 from both sides:

-6x + 30 - 30 = 60 - 30

-6x = 30

Finally, we will solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by -6:

-6x / -6 = 30 / -6

x = -5
