Question

12-4/5(x+15)=4

Answer 1

Hello.

Answer 2

Is that 12 - (4/5)(x+15) = 4?

Answer 3

Are you solving x?

Answer 4

To start, distribute -4/5 to both x and 15.

Answer 5

You there?

Answer 6

Ok... well after you distribute you get 12-4/5x-12=4.

Answer 7

Then you would combine like terms, or push together everything that can be pushed together, subtracting 12 from 12. Now you have -4/5x = 4.

Answer 8

Divide both sides by -4/5 and you come out with x=-5.
