$5\left(2x-8\right)+15=-15\quad:\quad x=1$5(2x−8)+15=−15 : x=1
Steps
$5\left(2x-8\right)+15=-15$5(2x−8)+15=−15
Show Steps
$\mathrm{Expand\:}5\left(2x-8\right)+15:\quad10x-25$Expand 5(2x−8)+15: 10x−25
$10x-25=-15$10x−25=−15
$\mathrm{Add\:}25\mathrm{\:to\:both\:sides}$Add 25 to both sides
$10x-25+25=-15+25$10x−25+25=−15+25
$10x=10$10x=10
$\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}10$Divide both sides by 10
$\frac{10x}{10}=\frac{10}{10}$10x10 =1010
$x=1$x=1
