So the solution is
Answer by Mathtut(3670) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
distribution property states that a(b+c)=ab+ac
:
5(x-3)=5x-15
4(x+3)=4x+12
3(x-1)=3x-3
:
5x-15+4x+12=3x-3........now combine like terms so that x is on one side of the equation and constants on the other
:
9x-3=3x-3---->subtract 3x and add 3 to each side
:
6x=0
