Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation

-5(-3x+1)=-45     If this is not correct, leave a comment please.

Solution

-5(-3x+1)=-45                     Divide by -5

-5(-3x + 1)/5 = -45/-5              

(-3x + 1) =  9                       Remove the brackets

-3x + 1 = 9                          Subtract 1 from both sides

-3x + 1 - 1 = 9 - 1                 Simplify

-3x = 8                               Divide by  -3

-3x/-3 = 8/-3

x = -8/3

or

x = -2.66

or

x = - 2 2/3
