Answer the question
x = -24
x = -24

x = -36
x = -36

x = -10
x = -10

x = -20

Answer 1

To solve for x, first distribute the 5 to the terms inside the parentheses:

5 * 15x - 5 * 30 = 198

75x - 150 = 198

Next, add 150 to both sides of the equation:

75x - 150 + 150 = 198 + 150

75x = 348

Finally, divide both sides by 75 to isolate x:

75x/75 = 348/75

x = 4.64

Therefore, the solution for x is x = 4.64.
