Question

I forgot how to solve these equations >.<
Someone help, please? Thank you. c:
-3(x+5)=2x-10
-----
3

I already distributed the equation of the left and got:

-3x-15=2x-10
------
3

What do I do next?

Answer 1

(-3*x)-(-3*5)

Answer 2

oh gosh..! i wanted to say that multiply both sides by 3

Answer 3

as that would remove the denominator, making it easy for us to solve it

Answer 4

? You lost me there.

Answer 5

-3(x+5)=(2x-10)/3

lets multiply both sides by 3
=> -9 ( x + 5) = ( 2x- 10)
now open the brackets and take the co-ordinates of x to a single side and the numerals to the other

Answer 6

and then you need to divide the numeral side with the numeral with x.....
and as a result you would get the answer...:D

Answer 7

well, did i find you now..??

Answer 8

No...

Answer 9

Answer 11

Answer 12

So did he find you? :p

Answer 13

I got 35/11

Answer 14

well recalculate it...

Answer 15

You forgot the negative sign :)
