solve x
-3/5(15x-30)=198
To solve for x, we first need to simplify the equation by distributing -3/5 to every term inside the parentheses:
-3/5 * 15x + -3/5 * (-30) = 198
-9x + 6 = 198
Next, we need to isolate x by moving the constant term to the other side of the equation:
-9x = 198 - 6
-9x = 192
Finally, we solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by -9:
x = 192 / -9
x ≈ -21.33
Therefore, the solution for x is approximately -21.33.
