Does anybody know this one? 40= 15 - 9x- 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying 40 = 15 + -9x + -2

Reorder the terms: 40 = 15 + -2 + -9x

Combine like terms: 15 + -2 = 13 40 = 13 + -9x

Solving 40 = 13 + -9x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '9x' to each side of the equation. 40 + 9x = 13 + -9x + 9x

Combine like terms: -9x + 9x = 0 40 + 9x = 13 + 0 40 + 9x = 13

Add '-40' to each side of the equation. 40 + -40 + 9x = 13 + -40

Combine like terms: 40 + -40 = 0 0 + 9x = 13 + -40 9x = 13 + -40

Combine like terms: 13 + -40 = -27 9x = -27

Divide each side by '9'. x = -3

Simplifying x = -3
