Question 724014
{{{5x-4(-3x+5)=-3}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{5x+12x-20=-3}}} Distribute.



{{{17x-20=-3}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{17x=-3+20}}} Add {{{20}}} to both sides.



{{{17x=17}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(17)/(17)}}} Divide both sides by {{{17}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=1}}} Reduce.
