Step 1. Simplify \frac{1}{5} (x+5) to \frac{x+5}{5}

\frac{x+5}{5} = \frac{1}{4} (x-3)+1

Step 2. Simplify \frac{x+5}{5} to 1+ \frac{x}{5}

1+ \frac{x}{5} = \frac{1}{4} (x-3)+1

Step 3. Simplify \frac{1}{4} (x-3) to \frac{x-3}{4}

1+ \frac{x}{5} = \frac{x-3}{4} +1

Step 4. Cancel 1 on both sides

\frac{x}{5} = \frac{x-3}{4}

Step 5. Multiply both sides by 20 (the LCM of 5,4)

4x=5(x-3)

Step 6. Expand

4x=5x-15

Step 7. Subtract 5x from both sides

4x-5x=-15

Step 8. Simplify 4x-5x to -x

-x=-15

Step 9. Multiply both sides by -1

x=15

Done! :) Hope this helps! :)
