Answer:
[tex]\boxed {x = -1}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for the value of [tex]x[/tex]:
[tex]15 + 3x = 3(2 - 2x)[/tex]
-Use Distributive Property:
[tex]15 + 3x = 3(2 - 2x)[/tex]
[tex]15 + 3x = 6 - 6x[/tex]
-Take [tex]6x[/tex] and add it to [tex]3x[/tex]:
[tex]15 + 3x + 6x = 6 + 6x - 6x[/tex]
[tex]15 + 9x = 6[/tex]
-Subtract both sides by [tex]15[/tex]:
[tex]15 - 15 + 9x = 6 - 15[/tex]
[tex]9x = -9[/tex]
-Divide both sides by [tex]9[/tex]:
[tex]\frac{9x}{9} = \frac{-9}{9}[/tex]
[tex]\boxed {x = -1}[/tex]
Therefore, the value of [tex]x[/tex] is [tex]-1[/tex].
