a, 4x - 15 = -75 - x
4x + x = -75 + 15
5x = -60
x = -60 : 5
x = -12
b, 72 - 3x = 3x + 8
-3x - 3x = 8 - 72
-6x = -64
x = -64 : -6
\(x=\frac{32}{3}\)
a/ 5x=-60 <=> x=-12
b/ -6x=-64 <=>x= 32/3
4x-15=-75-x
4x+x=-75+15
5x = -60
x =-60\(\div\)5
x =-12
72-3x = 3x+8
72-8 = 3x+3x
64 = 6x
x =64\(\div\)6
x =\(\frac{32}{3}\)
