    -15 + 3x =  -3
    -15 + 15 + 3x = -3 + 15
    3x = 12
    3x/3 = 12/3
    x = 4
     Much thanks to JHHarlan for correcting my mistake

    I think x = 4, 3x = 12, 12 +-15 = -3... am I right or wrong thinking......

    Whew...Thank You!

    -15+3x=-3


    i.e. 3x = 15 - 3


    i.e. 3x = 12


    i.e. x = 12/3


    So, x = 4


    Now solve the other related problems by yourself.
