Q. Solve the equation using the multiplication property of equality Be sation\newline15=(53)x15 = -\left(\frac{5}{3}\right)x\newlineThe solution set is \newline{}\{\square\}
  1. Identify equation: Identify the equation to solve.\newlineWe have the equation 15=(53)x15 = -\left(\frac{5}{3}\right)x, and we need to find the value of xx.
  2. Apply property of equality: Apply the multiplication property of equality to isolate xx. To get xx by itself, we multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of (5/3)-(5/3), which is 3/5-3/5. (3/5)×15=(3/5)×((5/3)x)(-3/5) \times 15 = (-3/5) \times (-(5/3)x)
  3. Multiply left side: Perform the multiplication on the left side of the equation.\newline(35)×15=9(-\frac{3}{5}) \times 15 = -9
  4. Multiply right side: Perform the multiplication on the right side of the equation.\newline(35)×((53)x)=x(-\frac{3}{5}) \times (-(\frac{5}{3})x) = x
  5. Write solution: Write down the solution.\newlineThe solution to the equation is x=9x = -9.
