SOLUTION: Using the distributive property: 5(3n-4)=4(4x-3). I'm not quite sure what to do with the double variables. Is it 15n=16x+8? Thank you!!!

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
When no directions are given, do what you want.
I put the variables on the left, constants on the right.
5%283n-4%29=4%284x-3%29
15n-20=16x-12
15n-16x=8
