−5x−x+15=−3(2x−5)
(4 points)
Step 1 - Distributive Property -

Step 2 - Combine Like Terms -

Step 3 - How many solutions -

Step 4 - Why is there that many solutions? -

Answer 1

Step 1 - Distributive Property - −5x - x + 15 = -3(2x) - (-3)(-5)

Step 2 - Combine Like Terms - -6x + 15 = -6x + 15

Step 3 - How many solutions - Infinitely many solutions

Step 4 - Why is there that many solutions? - Both sides of the equation are equal, so the equation is consistently true for all values of x.
