-3(5x-3)-5=
I'll be glad to check your answer.
But I'd like to see your work and see if you learned anything from the other problems we've helped you with.
The answer is
-15x-8
Nope.
Please show your work so I can see where you went wrong.
-3(5×-3)-5=(-15×9)-5
135-5=130
To solve the equation -3(5x-3)-5=0, we can start by simplifying both sides of the equation.
First, let's distribute the -3 to the terms inside the parentheses:
-3 * 5x = -15x
-3 * -3 = 9
The equation now becomes:
-15x + 9 - 5 = 0
Next, combine like terms:
-15x + 4 = 0
To isolate the variable, we need to get rid of the constant term. Subtracting 4 from both sides gives us:
-15x = -4
Finally, we can solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by -15:
x = -4 / -15
Simplifying the fraction gives us the final answer:
x = 4/15
