Answered by Ms. Sue
I'll do the first one.

3x + 15 = 0
3x = -15
x = -5

I'll be glad to check your work for the second problem.

2. 6x + 18 =0
6x/6 = 18/6
x = 3??
Answered by Anna
x = -3
You're on the right track, Good job!
Answered by Ms. Sue
Almost right.
But you forgot to subtract 18 from the right side of the equation.


6x + 18 =0
6x/6 = -18/6
x = -3

To check it, substitute -3 for x.

6(-3) + 18 = 0
-18 + 18 = 0

That's it!
