-2x + 15 = 37
subtract 15 from both sides of the equation to get:
-2x = 22
solve for x to get:
x = -11
confirm by replacing x with -11 in the original equation to get:
-2 * -11 + 15 = 37
since -2 * -11 = 22, the equation becomes:
22 + 15 = 37
simplify to get 37 = 37.
this confirms the value of x = -11 makes the original equation true.
your solution is x = -11.
