Popular >

(-2)/(3x+15)=-20

\frac{- 2}{3 x + 15} = - 20

x = - \frac{149}{30}

Decimal

x = - 4.96666 \dots

Solution steps

\frac{- 2}{3 x + 15} = - 20

Simplify

\frac{- 2}{3 x + 15} : - \frac{2}{3 x + 15}

- \frac{2}{3 x + 15} = - 20

Multiply both sides by

3 x + 15

- 2 = - 20 (3 x + 15)

Switch sides

- 20 (3 x + 15) = - 2

Divide both sides by

- 20

3 x + 15 = \frac{1}{10}

Move

15

to the right side

3 x = - \frac{149}{10}

Divide both sides by

3

x = - \frac{149}{30}

Verify Solutions

Find undefined (singularity) points:

x = - 5

Combine undefined points with solutions:

x = - \frac{149}{30}

x = 6 - \frac{6}{x - 1}

\frac{2 x + 1}{2 x - 1} - \frac{2 x - 1}{2 x + 1} = 6

\frac{2}{( x + 1 ) ^{2}} = \frac{1}{2}

\frac{2}{m} + \frac{3 m}{2} = 7

\frac{3 x - 1}{x + 4} - 6 = \frac{2 x + 15}{x + 4}
