Expand the equation to get 4+5*2x-5*3=3*4x-3*1, which reduces to 4+10x-15=12x-3. Combining like terms we get 10x-11=12x-3. Now subtract 10x from both sides to get -11=2x-3. Adding 3 to both sides yields -8=2x. Finally divide both sides by 2 to get -4=x. To check our answer, substitute it in the original equation: 4+5(2*(-4)-3)=3(4*(-4)-1), which simplifies to 4+5(-11)=3(-17), which further reduces to 4-55=-51, and finally -51=-51. Because -51=-51 is a true statement, then our answer is correct!
