To solve for the variable, we will follow the order of operations:
1. Distribute -5 to (3-4x): -5(3) + -5(-4x)
This simplifies to: -15 + 20x
2. Rewrite the equation: 65 = -15 + 20x
3. Combine like terms: 65 + 15 = -15 + 15 + 20x
This simplifies to: 80 = 20x
4. Divide both sides of the equation by 20: 80/20 = (20x)/20
This simplifies to: 4 = x
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 4.
