Given the equation:
-4/3(15x+30)+5
Simplify the equation.
Solution:
In order to simplify the equation, we simply need to multiply - 4/3 to each value inside the parenthesis, then we combine like terms.
= -4/3(15x+30)+5
= -20x - 40 + 5
= -20x - 35
If we want to solve for x, we simply need to transpose -20x to the other side of the equation, then divide both sides by 20.
20x = -35
20x/20 = -35/20
x = -7/4
Final answer:
Simplified equation = -20x - 35
x = -7/4
