-3(3x+15)-(10+X)=35
i keep gettin a decimal or a zero
am i right?
see below, your 1st posting of this
thx
-3(3x+15)-(10+x)=35
-9x-3*15-10-x=35
-9x-45-10-x=35
-10x-55=35
-10x=35+55
-10x=90
x=90/(-10)
x=-9
Let's solve the given equation step by step to determine if you're getting the correct answer.
Starting with the given equation: -3(3x + 15) - (10 + x) = 35
Step 1: Distribute the -3 to the terms inside the parentheses:
-9x - 45 - (10 + x) = 35
Step 2: Simplify the expression inside the second set of parentheses:
-9x - 45 - 10 - x = 35
Combining like terms:
-10x - 55 = 35
Step 3: Move the constant term to the right side:
-10x = 35 + 55
-10x = 90
Step 4: Divide both sides of the equation by -10 to solve for x:
x = 90 / -10
x = -9
So the solution to the given equation is x = -9.
It is possible that you made an error during the calculation process, leading to a decimal or zero. Double-check each step to ensure the calculations are correct.
