This is really confusing I could really use some help with this thank you.

15) 2x-5=-20
2x-5+5=-20+5
2x=-15
[tex]\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{-15}{2}[/tex]
[tex]x=-\frac{15}{2}[/tex]
16) x/3-7=11
x/3=11+7
x/3=18
x=18*3
x=54
17) [tex]\frac{9x}{4}=-9[/tex]
[tex]\frac{4\cdot \:9x}{4}=4\left(-9\right)[/tex]
[tex]9x=-36[/tex]
[tex]\frac{9x}{9}=\frac{-36}{9}[/tex]
[tex]x=-4[/tex]
