You would divide both sides by -5
Giving you x = -3
therefore your answer is -3

remember you can do anything to an eqautoin as long as you do oit to both sides

-5x=15
try to get 1x by itself

remember
(ax)/a=x when a=a

so
-5x=15
get x
divide both sides by -5
remember to flip sign
(-5x)/(-5)=15/(-5)
x=-3

answer is first one
x=-3
