Answer 1

see the procedure

Explanation:

we have

`3x=5(x-4)`

step 1

`3x=5(x-4)` ------> given problem

step 2

Applying the Distributive Property right side

`3x=5(x)-5(4)`

`3x=5x-20`

step 3

Applying the Subtraction Property of Equality

Subtract (3x-20) both sides

`3x-(3x-20)=5x-20-(3x-20)`

`20=2x`

step 4

Applying Division Property of Equality

Divide by 2 both sides

`20\2=x`

Rewrite

`x=10`
