1

Understand the problem

Solve x:

5(x+3)=0 5(x+3)=0

2

Step-by-step solution

We open the parentheses according to the formula:

a(x+b)=ax+ab a(x+b)=ax+ab

5×x+5×3=0 5\times x+5\times3=0

5x+15=0 5x+15=0

We will move the 15 to the right section and keep the corresponding sign:

5x=15 5x=-15

Divide both sections by 5

5x5=155 \frac{5x}{5}=\frac{-15}{5}

x=3 x=-3
