Solve 5x – 1 = 3x – 15. explain each step, and include the properties of equality that you used.

5x – 1 = 3x – 15

Subtraction Property of Equality  (Subtract 3x from both sides)

2x - 1 = -15

Addition Property of Equality   (Add 1 to both sides)

2x = - 14

Division Property of Equality   (Divide both sides by 2)

x = -7

15

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the following expression and we are to solve it and find the product:

-13 × (-5)

solving the given expression in the standard order of solving a mathematical expression, beginning with the opening of brackets and then multiplying the terms and changing their signs.

-3 × -5 = 15 (answer is positive because when negative is multiplied with negative, it gives a positive answer)
