Answer 1

To solve for x, we need to isolate the variable x.

-3/5(15x - 30) = 198

First, distribute the -3/5 to both terms inside the parentheses:

-3/5 * 15x - 3/5 * (-30) = 198

-9x + 18 = 198

Next, subtract 18 from both sides of the equation:

-9x = 198 - 18

-9x = 180

Finally, divide both sides of the equation by -9:

x = 180/-9

x = -20

Therefore, x = -20.
