Question

Solve: −3(x − 2) = 15

3

−3

−5.7

−7

Answer 1

−3(x − 2) = 15

divide by -3 then add two.....

Answer 2

-3(x-2) = 15
-3x-(-6) = 15
-3x+6 = 15

Now put the 6 to the right by subtracting it from both sides of the equation:

-3x = 15 - 6
-3x = 9

Now divide both sides by -3 to find out the value of 'x':

x = 9/-3
x = -3

Your answer is: x = -3;)
