Solve for x:

-15x + 5 = - 10x + 25

-4 (negative 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

-15x + 5 = - 10x + 25

First subtract 5 from both sides

-15x = - 10x + 20

Then, add 10x to both sides

-5x = 20

Now, Divide both sides by - 5

x = - 4

To check you work substitute x for - 4 in the original problem.

-15 (-4) + 5 = 65

-10 (-4) + 25 = 65

The answer is negative 4
