Solve for x 5 (*+3) = 4 (*_3)

x=27

Step-by-step explanation:

5 multiplied by x=5x

5 times 3 = 15

so 5x+15

4 times x = 4x

4 times - 3 = - 12

so 5x+15=4x-12

move 4x next to 5x

move 15 next to - 12

5x-4x=-12-15

(remember when you transpose a positive number it becomes a negative and vice versa!)

x=-27

Step-by-step explanation:

5x+15=4x-12

5x-4x=-12-15

x = - 27
