The first thing you should do to solve this equation would be to distribute. After distributing it would look like this 4x-12-5x-5=3 Just gonna finish this for no reason -x-17=3 +17 +17 -x = 20 x = -20
the value of root three is given already so the question is asking you to round it of to the nearest 1000 which means there should be three numbers after the decimal point.
