Answer 1

To solve for x, we will follow the steps below:

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

We will start by distributing -3/5 to the terms inside the parentheses:

-3/5 * 15x + -3/5 * -30 = 198

-9x + 18 = 198

Next, we will isolate the variable by subtracting 18 from both sides:

-9x = 198 - 18

-9x = 180

Finally, we will solve for x by dividing both sides by -9:

x = 180 / -9

x = -20

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