Question

$$-5(x-5)+15=30$$

Solve for x

$x=2$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply $-5$ by $x-5$.

$$-5x+25+15=30$$

Add $25$ and $15$ to get $40$.

$$-5x+40=30$$

Subtract $40$ from both sides.

$$-5x=30-40$$

Subtract $40$ from $30$ to get $-10$.

$$-5x=-10$$

Divide both sides by $-5$.

$$x=\frac{-10}{-5}$$

Divide $-10$ by $-5$ to get $2$.

$$x=2$$
