Explanation:Distribute 3 to the left side of the equation.$15x + 3 = 19 - 5x$Add $5x$ to both sides of the equation.$20x + 3 = 19$Subtract 3 from both sides of the equation.$20x = 16$Divide both sides of the equation by 20.$x = \frac { 4 } { 5 }$

Solve the Equation 3(5x+1)=19−5x3 ( 5 x + 1 ) = 19 - 5 x3(5x+1)=19−5x

Solve the Equation $3 ( 5 x + 1 ) = 19 - 5 x$
