Question

(1 point)

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

x = - 24

O x = - 36

x = - 10

x = - 20

Answer 1

To solve the equation -3/5 * (15x-30) = 198, we can start by multiplying both sides of the equation by -5/3 to eliminate the fraction.

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

This simplifies to:

15x - 30 = -330

Next, we can add 30 to both sides of the equation to isolate the variable.

15x = -300

Finally, we can divide both sides of the equation by 15 to solve for x.

x = -300/15

This simplifies to:

x = -20

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = -20.
