An equation is shown below: 5(2x - 8) + 15 = -15 write the steps you will use to solve the equation and explain each step. show your work and answer quickly

First, you need to distribute. 5(2x-8)+15= -15

10x-40+ 15= -15

Combine like terms. 

10x-25= -15

Add 25 to both sides. 

10x= 10

Divide 10 from both sides. 

x= 1

I hope this helped!
