Add the numbers
−22x3
−22x3−15=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−22x3=0+15
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−22x3=15
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
22x3=−15
Divide both sides
2222x3=22−15
Divide the numbers
x3=22−15
Use b−a=−ba=−ba to rewrite the fraction
