Hey!
To solve this problem we'll divide both sides by -15. Doing this will get [tex]x[/tex] on its own.
Original Equation :
-15x = 240
New Equation {Changed by Dividing Both Sides by -15} :
[tex] \frac{-15x}{-15} [/tex] = [tex] \frac{-240}{-15} [/tex]
Alright, now we simplify solve the equation.
Old Equation :
[tex] \frac{-15x}{-15} [/tex] = [tex] \frac{-240}{-15} [/tex]
Solved {Old Equation Solved} :
x = 16
Now we know that in the equation -15x = -240, x = 16.
Hope this helps!
