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.
-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.
