Question
Solve the equation
x=−5
Evaluate
−2(3x−15)−25=35
Move the expression to the left side
−2(3x−15)−25−35=0
Subtract the numbers
−2(3x−15)−60=0
Calculate
More Steps

Evaluate
−2(3x−15)−60
Expand the expression
More Steps

Calculate
−2(3x−15)
Apply the distributive property
−2×3x−(−2×15)
Multiply the numbers
−6x−(−2×15)
Multiply the numbers
−6x−(−30)
If a negative sign or a subtraction symbol appears outside parentheses, remove the parentheses and change the sign of every term within the parentheses
−6x+30
−6x+30−60
Subtract the numbers
−6x−30
−6x−30=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−6x=0+30
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−6x=30
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
6x=−30
Divide both sides
66x=6−30
Divide the numbers
x=6−30
