To solve for x, let's simplify the equation step by step:
-2(3x - 15) = 60
First, we distribute -2 to the terms inside the parentheses:
-6x + 30 = 60
Next, let's isolate x by subtracting 30 from both sides of the equation:
-6x + 30 - 30 = 60 - 30
-6x = 30
To isolate x, divide both sides by -6:
(-6x) / -6 = 30 / -6
x = -5
Therefore, the solution for x is x = -5.
