Answer:

-8 = x

Step-by-step explanation:

-15 = 2x + 1

-1            - 1            Subtract 1 from both sides

-16 = 2x                 Divide both sides by 2

-8 = x

To make sure this answer is correct, plug it into the equation to see if it works.

-15 = 2(-8) + 1       Multiply

-15 = -16 + 1          Add

-15 = -15
