Can someone help me with Pre-Algebra problem?

Question

-5x-15=10

can any explain and answer this problem?

Answer 1

-5x-15=10

     get the "x" term by itself so we have to add 15 to both sides of the equation.

-5x=25

  divide by -5 on both sides of equal sign

x= -5

Answer 2

-5x-15=10

add 15 on both sides of =.

-5x-15+15=10+15

-5x=25

divide both sides of = by -5

-5x/-5=25/-5

x=-5

all you have to do here is get the 'x' alone in one side of the =.

Answer 3

-5x-15=10

-5x=10+15    transposition

-5x=25

x=-5             division property

Answer 4

taking algebra 2 and geometry both honors the answer is:

x=-5

u add 15 to 10 then divide by -5

Answer 5

how i think it suppose to be is that you know how you have the -5x you take that 5 from the -15 and that how you get 10  

Answer 6

-5x-15=10

one side of the equation must equal the other side ie -5x-15 is the same as 10. the letter x can be any number - that's what we need to find out. 5x is a multiple, there is 5 of what ever x is.

First lets get 5x on its own. To do this we need to get rid of -15. by adding +15 to the left hand side of the equal sign (-15+15=0). But remember one side of the equation must equal the other side. to balance this out we will also need to add +15 to the right hand side of the equation, otherwise the entire equation will be unbalanced.

-5x-15+15=10+15

Simplify the above equation.

-5x=25

Now lets get x by itself. x is a mystery number. We will divide -5x by -5. Why? Dividing and number by itself will equal 1, it doesn't matter whether it is a (-) or (+). Remember to balance the equation. We will also need to divide 25 by -5 as well. What you do on the left hand side of the equal sign must also be repeated on the right hand side.

-5x/-5=25/-5

Simplify the above equation.

x=-5

That's your answer.

Check the answer by substituting it into the equation.

-5x-15=10

-5(-5)-15=10

-5 multiply by -5 equals +25

25-15=10

10=10

Correct

I KNOW I TOOK ALONG TIME TO EXPLAIN.
