Question

Medal to whoever answers it!!!!
Solve for x: -5(x - 3) = 30

x = 9

x = -9

x = 3

x = -3

Answer 1

-3

Answer 2

- 5(x - 3) = 30 -- distribute the -5 through the parenthesis first
-5x + 15 = 30 -- subtract 15 from both sides
-5x + 15 - 15 = 30 - 15 -- combine like terms
-5x = 15 -- divide by -5 to get x by itself
-5x/-5 = 15/-5
x = - 3
