Solve for x : −2(3x−15)−25=35 .(1 point)

Question

x=

Answer 1

To solve for x, we need to simplify the equation by distributing the -2:

-2(3x-15) - 25 = 35

= -6x + 30 - 25 = 35

= -6x + 5 = 35

Next, we can isolate the -6x term by subtracting 5 from both sides:

-6x = 35 - 5

= 30

Finally, we can solve for x by dividing both sides by -6:

x = 30 / -6

= -5

Therefore, x = -5.
