[tex]5(x-4)=15x[/tex]

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]

Then, the solution for the given equation is x= -2
