Answer: [tex]x=-3[/tex]
Add 3x to both sides
[tex]2x+15+3x=-3x+3x\\5x+15=0[/tex]
Subtract 15 from both sides
[tex]5x+15-15=0-15\\5x=-15[/tex]
Divide both sides by 5
[tex]5x/5=-15/5\\x=-3[/tex]
Answer:
x = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 15 = -3x (try to move the x-terms to one side, add 3x to both sides)
2x + 15 + 3x = 0
5x + 15 = 0 (subtract 15 from both sides)
5x = 0 - 15
5x = -15 (divide both sides by 5)
x = -15 ÷ 5
x = -3
Hope this helps!
