Answer:
[tex]x = - 3[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Expand.
[tex]15x - 10 - 4x - 5 = - 48[/tex]
2) Subtract 15x - 10 - 4x - 5 to 11x - 15.
[tex]11x - 15 = - 48[/tex]
3) Add 15 to both sides.
[tex]11x = - 48 + 15[/tex]
4) Simplify -48 + 15 to -33.
[tex]11x = - 33[/tex]
5) Divide both sides by 11.
[tex]x = - \frac{33}{11} [/tex]
6) Simplify 33/11 to 3.
[tex]x = - 3[/tex]
Therefor, the answer is x = -3.
