To solve the given equation:
1. Divide both sides of the equation into 5:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{5(x-4)}{5}=\frac{15x}{5} \\ \\ x-4=3x \end{gathered}[/tex]2. Subtract x in both sides of the equation:
[tex]\begin{gathered} x-x-4=3x-x \\ -4=2x \end{gathered}[/tex]3. Divide both sides of the equation into 2:
[tex]\begin{gathered} -\frac{4}{2}=\frac{2x}{2} \\ \\ \\ -2=x \end{gathered}[/tex]
