Solve for x : 20x−5(6x+15)=−45 .(1 point) Responses x=−3 x equals negative 3 x=−2 x equals negative 2 x=3 x equals 3 x=2

1 answer

First, distribute the -5 into the parentheses:

20x - 30x - 75 = -45

Combine like terms:

-10x - 75 = -45

Add 75 to both sides:

-10x = 30

Divide by -10:

x = -3

Therefore, x = -3.
