Answer:
x = -1
Explanation:
to solve for 'x' you must first distribute the 4 by 'x-3' to come up with:
4x - 12 = 5x - 11
we have four options now to solve for 'x' but any option will produce the same answer:
if we subtract 4x from each side of the equation we get:
-12 = x = -11
now we must add 11 to each side and get:
-1 = x
Check:
4(-1 - 3) should equal 5(-1) - 11
-4 - 12 = -5 - 11
-16 = -16
