A)-10
ExplanationStep 1
given the linear function
[tex]y=2x+5[/tex]where x is the independent variable and y is the dependent variable , it means x is the input and y is the output
so
Step 1
to find the input we need to replace the given output in the expression and solve for x
hence, replace and solve for x
let
y=-15
[tex]\begin{gathered} y=2x+5 \\ replace \\ -15=2x+5 \\ subtract\text{ 5 in both sides} \\ -15-5=2x+5-5 \\ -20=2x \\ divide\text{ both sides by 2} \\ -\frac{20}{2}=\frac{2x}{2} \\ -10=x \end{gathered}[/tex]therefore, the answer is
A)-10
