    x = 1

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given

    5 (2x - 8) + 15 = - 15 (subtract 15 from both sides)

    5 (2x - 8) = - 30 (divide both sides by 5)

    2x - 8 = - 6 (add 8 to both sides)

    2x = 2 (divide both sides by 2)

    x = 1

    10x - 40 + 15 = - 15 (use distributive)

    10x - 25 = - 15. add integers on left

    10x = 10 add 25 to both sides

    x = 1 divide by 10
