Answer 2

Answer:

The solution of x will be $= -30$

Step-by-step explanation:

In accordance with the information provided in the question,

Given the data in question -30 - 5x = 120

We have find the value of x in given expression in the above question.

Here we will use the transposition method.

Hence, for solving the above equation, we will solve it by separating the like terms at one side ,

So, we will shift 30 from LHS to RHS the sign will change from negative to positive,

As we get,

$-30-5x=120\\-5x=120+30\\-5x=150$

Dividing both side by -5 we get,

$\frac{-5x}{-5} =\frac{150}{-5}$

Simplifying further we get,

$x=-30$

Hence the solution of x=$-30$
