solve x
-3/5(15x-30)=198
x=-24
x=-36
x=-10
x=-20
To solve for x, we can start by simplifying the equation:
-3/5(15x - 30) = 198
First, distribute the -3/5 to the terms inside the parentheses:
-3/5 * 15x - 3/5 * (-30) = 198
-9x + 18 = 198
Next, isolate the variable by subtracting 18 from both sides:
-9x = 198 - 18
-9x = 180
Finally, divide both sides by -9 to solve for x:
x = 180 / -9
x = -20
Therefore, the solution is x = -20.
