115/13
Step-by-step explanation:
5x−3(6x+5)=−130
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
5x−3(6x+5)=−130
5x+(−3)(6x)+(−3)(5)=−130(Distribute)
5x+−18x+−15=−130
(5x+−18x)+(−15)=−130(Combine Like Terms)
−13x+−15=−130
−13x−15=−130
Step 2: Add 15 to both sides.
−13x−15+15=−130+15
−13x=−115
Step 3: Divide both sides by -13.
−13x
−13
=
−115
−13
x= 115 /13
