What is the value of x in the equation 5 (3x + 4) = 23?

A) 43/15

B) 3/15

C) 15/43

D) 2/5

It would be B) 3/15

You distribute 5 to both 3x and 4, giving you 15x+20=23

Then, you subtract 20 from both sides of the equation, giving you 15x = 3

And then you divide both sides by 15 so you can isolate x
