To solve this equation, we will first distribute the 3 on the left side:
3(5) - 3(4x) = 5x + 1
15 - 12x = 5x + 1
Next, we will combine like terms by adding 12x to both sides:
15 = 17x + 1
Subtract 1 from both sides:
14 = 17x
Divide by 17 to isolate x:
x = 14/17
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 14/17.
3(5-4x)=(5x+1)
