Equation:

Solution: x=

Respuesta :

Answer:

As an equation: 15 × x = -75

Solved: x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

15*x = -75

[tex]\frac{15*x}{15}[/tex] = [tex]-\frac{75}{15}[/tex], Divide by 15 on both sides to solve for x

x=[tex]-\frac{75}{15}[/tex], The 15 in the numerator cancels out with the denominator

x= -5, because 75/15=5

Equation: (-5)(15) = -75

Solution : (x)(15) or (written as, x times 15 )= -75
For x= -5 ( substitute x into -5)
(-5)(15) or written as, negative 5 times 15= -75
