x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

5 x (2x - 8) + 15 = -15                 Multiply 5 by 2x and -8

10x - 40 + 15 = -15                      Add -40 and 15

10x - 25 = -15                              Add 25 to both sides

10x = 10                                       Divide 10 by 10

x = 1

1 is c

2 is a

3 is a

step-by-step explanation:

the multiplicative inverse of a fraction a/b is b/a. for the multiplicative inverse of a real number, divide 1 by the number. for example, the reciprocal of 5 is one fifth 1/5 or 0.2, and the reciprocal of 0.25 is 1 divided by 0.25, or 4.
