Answer:

The sides are not equal

Therefore, there is NO SOLUTION.

Explanation:

Given the expression

$5\left(x+4\right)=5x-3$

Expanding

5x+20=5x-3

subtract 20 from both sides

5x+20-20=5x-3-20

5x=5x-23

subtract 5x from both sides

5x-5x=5x-23-5x

0=-23

The sides are not equal

Therefore, there is NO SOLUTION.
