5(x - 4) = 12 will medal

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

\[\large 5(x - 4) = 12 \rightarrow 5(x) + 5(-4) = 12 \]

OpenStudy (pawanyadav):

5x-20=12 5x=20+12=32 So, divided by 5 both side x=32/5

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

I think that you should be able to solve from there. After all, @pooja195 has been helping you quite a lot with these questions as far as I've seen :)
