Question

When solving negative one over three (x − 15) = −4, what is the correct sequence of operations?

Multiply each side by negative one over three , subtract 15 from each side
Multiply each side by −3, add 15 to each side
Multiply each side by negative one over three , add 15 to each side
Multiply each side by 3, subtract 15 from each side

Answer 1

(-1/3)(x-15)=-4  multiply both sides by -3

x-15=12  add 15 to both sides

x=27

Answer 2

The correct sequence of operations will be B. Multiply each side by −3, add 15 to each side.

The equation given is:

-1/3 (x - 15) = -4

The first thing to do is to multiply each side by −3, and this will be:

= [1/3 (x - 15)] × -3 = [-4 × -3]

x - 15 = 12

Then the second thing to do is to add 15 to both sides and this will be:

x - 15 + 15 = 12 + 15

x = 27

Therefore, we can see that after solving the question, the value gotten is 27.
