\text{Solve for x:}\\\\4(3-2x)=15\\\\\text{Use the distributive property}\\\\12-8x=15\\\\\text{Subtract 12 from both sides}\\\\-8x=3\\\\\text{Divide both sides by -8}\\\\\boxed{x=-(3)/(8)}

Answer:

x = -3/8

Explanation:

4(3-2x)=15

Distribute

12 -8x = 15

Subtract 12 from each side

12-8x-12 = 15-12

-8x =3

Divide each side by -8

-8x/-8 = 3/-8

x = -3/8
