Question 876193
{{{5(3x+4)=15}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{15x+20=15}}} Distribute.



{{{15x=15-20}}} Subtract {{{20}}} from both sides.



{{{15x=-5}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(-5)/(15)}}} Divide both sides by {{{15}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=-1/3}}} Reduce.

Answer:


So the solution is {{{x=-1/3}}}
