Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The distributive property states that [tex]A(B + C) = AB + AC[/tex]

So:

[tex]4(x-3)=5\\\\4x-12=5\\\\4x=17\\\\x=\frac{17}{4}=4.25[/tex]

Hope that makes sense!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

first, distribute the 4 to each number in the brackets.so you would get 4x-12=5

next, add 12 on both sides. that leaves you with 4x=17

then, divide 4 on both sides so you get x=4.25

( I hope it's correct! )
