Bot GPT 3.5 To solve the equation, we will begin by distributing -2 to the terms inside the parentheses:
-2(3x - 15) - 4 = 56
Multiply -2 by 3x:
-6x + 30 - 4 = 56
Combine like terms:
-6x + 26 = 56
Next, we will isolate -6x by subtracting 26 from both sides of the equation:
-6x + 26 - 26 = 56 - 26
-6x = 30
Finally, we will solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by -6:
-6x/(-6) = 30/(-6)
x = -5
