![3(14x−15)=−72 42x−45=−72 42x=−72+45 42x=−27 x= −((27)/(42))=−(9/(14))](https://www.tinkutara.com/question/Q463.png)
$$\mathrm{3}\left(\mathrm{14}{x}−\mathrm{15}\right)=−\mathrm{72} \\ $$$$\mathrm{42}{x}−\mathrm{45}=−\mathrm{72} \\ $$$$\mathrm{42}{x}=−\mathrm{72}+\mathrm{45} \\ $$$$\mathrm{42}{x}=−\mathrm{27} \\ $$$${x}=\:−\frac{\mathrm{27}}{\mathrm{42}}=−\frac{\mathrm{9}}{\mathrm{14}} \\ $$
