Answer 1

To solve for x, we need to isolate the variable on one side of the equation.

Starting with the given equation:

-3/5(15x - 30) = 198

First, distribute -3/5 to (15x - 30):

-9x + 18 = 198

Next, subtract 18 from both sides of the equation:

-9x = 180

Finally, divide both sides of the equation by -9:

x = -20

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = -20.
