To solve this equation we must first plug in 5 for x.
[tex] \frac{1}{3} [/tex] (5 - 4x)
↓
[tex] \frac{1}{3} [/tex] (5 - 4 · 5)
The next step would be to multiply 4 by 5 to get rid of the parenthesis within our main parenthesis.
[tex] \frac{1}{3} [/tex] (5 - 4 · 5)
[tex] \frac{1}{3} [/tex] (5 - 20)
The next step would be to subtract both of the numbers within the parenthesis.
[tex] \frac{1}{3} [/tex] (-15)
Now we must multiply.
- [tex] \frac{1}{3} [/tex] · 15 = - [tex] \frac{1×15}{3} [/tex]
- [tex] \frac{15}{3} [/tex]
Now we simplify our answer to get our final answer.
-5
