What is the value of x in 5 (2x - 7) = 15x-10?

Step 1 : Equation at the end of step 1 : 5 • (2x - 7) - (15x - 10) = 0 Step 2 : Step 3 : Pulling out like terms:

3.1 Pull out like factors:

-5x - 25 = - 5 • (x + 5)

Equation at the end of step 3 : - 5 • (x + 5) = 0 Step 4 : Equations which are never true:

4.1 Solve : - 5 = 0

This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation:

4.2 Solve : x+5 = 0

Subtract 5 from both sides of the equation:

x = - 5

One solution was found : x = - 5
