x = -24
x = -24

x = -36
x = -36

x = -10
x = -10

x = -20

Answer 1

To solve for x, we will start by distributing the -35 on the left side of the equation:

-35 * 15x + (-35) * (-30) = 198

Simplifying this equation, we get:

-525x + 1050 = 198

Next, we will isolate the x variable by subtracting 1050 from both sides of the equation:

-525x = 198 - 1050

Simplifying further:

-525x = -852

Finally, we can solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by -525:

x = (-852) / (-525)

Simplifying the division:

x ≈ 1.62

Therefore, the solution for x is approximately 1.62.
