Solve for x . −2(3x−15)=60 (1 point) x=

Answer 1

To solve the equation \(-2(3x - 15) = 60\), follow these steps:

1. Distribute \(-2\) on the left side: \[ -2 \cdot 3x + -2 \cdot -15 = 60 \] \[ -6x + 30 = 60 \]

2. Subtract \(30\) from both sides: \[ -6x + 30 - 30 = 60 - 30 \] \[ -6x = 30 \]

3. Divide both sides by \(-6\): \[ x = \frac{30}{-6} \] \[ x = -5 \]

Thus, the solution is: \[ x = -5 \]
