x=

Answer 1

wrong

Answer 2

-13

Answer 3

Let's first distribute the -2 on the left side of the equation:

-2(3x - 15) = 60
-6x + 30 = 60

Now, let's isolate x by getting x alone on one side of the equation:

-6x = 60 - 30
-6x = 30

Now divide by -6 on both sides of the equation to solve for x:

x = 30 / -6
x = -5

Therefore, x = -5.
