Question

$$4x+5=6+5(x-3)$$

Solve for x

$x=14$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply $5$ by $x-3$.

$$4x+5=6+5x-15$$

Subtract $15$ from $6$ to get $-9$.

$$4x+5=-9+5x$$

Subtract $5x$ from both sides.

$$4x+5-5x=-9$$

Combine $4x$ and $-5x$ to get $-x$.

$$-x+5=-9$$

Subtract $5$ from both sides.

$$-x=-9-5$$

Subtract $5$ from $-9$ to get $-14$.

$$-x=-14$$

Multiply both sides by $-1$.

$$x=14$$
