4​(x-​5)=3​(x+​5)

Multiply the first bracket by 4

(4)(x)=4x

(4)(-5)=-20

Multiply the second bracket by 3

(3)(x)=3x

(3)(5)=15

4x-20=3x+15

Move 3x to the other side

Sign changes from +3x to -3x

4x-3x-20=3x-3x+15

4x-3x-20=15

x-20=15

Move -20 to the other side

Sign changes from -20 to +20

x-20+20=15+20

x=15+20

Answer: x=35
