Answer 2

To solve for x, we can start by multiplying both sides of the equation by -5/3 to cancel out the coefficient on the left side:

(5/3)(-3/5)(15x - 30) = (5/3)(198)
-3(15x - 30) = 330

Distribute the -3 on the left side:
-45x + 90 = 330

Subtract 90 from both sides:
-45x = 240

Divide both sides by -45 to solve for x:
x = -240/45

Simplifying the fraction:
x = -16/3

Therefore, x = -16/3.

Answer 3

To solve for x, we can start by distributing the -3/5 on the left side:

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

Simplifying the equation:

-9x + 6 = 198

Subtract 6 from both sides:

-9x = 192

Divide both sides by -9:

x = -192/9

Simplifying the fraction:

x = -64/3

Therefore, x = -64/3.
