Solve 5(3-x)=4x 18

Evaluate

5 (3 - x) = 4 x \times 18

Multiply the terms

5 (3 - x) = 72 x

Expand the expression

More Steps

15 - 5 x = 72 x

Move the variable to the left side

15 - 5 x - 72 x = 0

Subtract the terms

More Steps

15 - 77 x = 0

Move the constant to the right side

- 77 x = 0 - 15

Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression

- 77 x = - 15

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

77 x = 15

Divide both sides

\frac{77 x}{77} = \frac{15}{77}

Solution

x = \frac{15}{77}

Alternative Form

x = 0. \dot{1} 9480 \dot{5}
