Question

what is the value of x. 1.6(15x + 25)= -6x -5

Answer 1

Answer:

$x = - \frac{3}{2} \: \: \: or \: \: - 1.5$

Step-by-step explanation:

1.6(15x + 25)= -6x -5

Multiply the terms

That's

24x + 40 = - 6x - 5

Add 6x to both sides

24x + 6x + 40 = 6x - 6x - 5

30x + 40 = - 5

Subtract 40 from both sides

That's

30x + 40 - 40 = - 5 - 40

30x = - 45

Divide both sides by 30

We have the final answer as

$x = - \frac{3}{2 } \: \: \: or \: - 1.5$

Hope this helps you
