<PRE><B>Question 146798</B>


{{{x/4+5+x=15}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{4(x/cross(4)+5+x)=4(15)}}} Multiply both sides by the LCD {{{4}}} to clear any fractions.



{{{x+20+4x=60}}} Distribute and multiply.



{{{5x+20=60}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{5x=60-20}}} Subtract {{{20}}} from both sides.



{{{5x=40}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(40)/(5)}}} Divide both sides by {{{5}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=8}}} Reduce.

Answer:


So the answer is {{{x=8}}}
