Question

Tripling the difference of x and five produces negative fifteen

Answer 1

The answer is that x = 0

Explanation:

The numerical version of this would look as follows:

3(x - 5) = -15

And then to solve, follow the order of operations.

3(x - 5) = -15 ------> Divide by 3

x - 5 = -5 ----> Add 5

x = 0
