Question

Solve for x. -3x = -15 x = -5 x = 5 x = -45

Answer 1

The answer is b, 5

Explanation:

-3x = -15

(it sometimes helps to flip it, so that's what I'm going to do here to help it to make more sense)

x(-3) = -15

x(-3) devided by (-3) = -15 devided by (-3)

when you devide a negitive by a negative the answer will be positive

the absolute value of 15 devided by three is 5

your answer is a positive five, or just 5

Answer 2

-3x = -15 divide both sides by (-3)

-3x:(-3)=-15:(-3)

x = 5
