Answer 3

yah but I don't know how to do it

Answer 4

First, distribute. 10x-40+15=-15
Then, add like terms. 10x-25=-15
Add 25 to both sides. 10x=10
Divide. x=1

I need the answer with the steps

Answer 6

Are those not specific enough, or..?

Answer 7

no because its an essay question

Answer 8

Those are the basic steps. All you have to do is add in longer words and definitions. Just talk about how you have to add like terms and such. Just expand on it. It isn't that hard if you try.
Just try it by yourself once.
