15-5 (365x) = 1,840

What does x equal?

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 15 in both sides of the equation

15 - 5 (365x) - 15 = 1840 - 15

-5 (365x) = 1825

Divide by - 5 both sides

-5 (365x) / -5 = 1825/-5

-365x=365

Divide by 365 both sides

365x/365 = - 365/365

x = - 1

Answer check:

substitute for (x)

15-5 (365 (1))

15-5 (365)

distribute - 5

15 - (-1825)

two negative becomes positive

15 + 1825

= 1,840

The answer to your question is x = - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

15 - 5 (365x) = 1840

Process

1. - Subtract 15 in both sides of the equation

15 - 5 (365x) - 15 = 1840 - 15

2. - Simplify

-5 (365x) = 1825

3. - Divide by - 5 both sides

-5 (365x) / -5 = 1825/-5

4. - Simplify

365x = - 365

5. - Divide by 365 both sides

365x/365 = - 365/365

6. - Simplify

x = - 1
