Question

20 POINTS AND BRAINLIEST

Answer 1

To solve this equation we must first plug in 5 for x.

$\frac{1}{3}$ (5 - 4x)
               ↓ 
$\frac{1}{3}$ (5 - 4 · 5)

The next step would be to multiply 4 by 5 to get rid of the parenthesis within our main parenthesis.

$\frac{1}{3}$ (5 - 4 · 5)

$\frac{1}{3}$ (5 - 20)

The next step would be to subtract both of the numbers within the parenthesis.

$\frac{1}{3}$ (-15)

Now we must multiply.

- $\frac{1}{3}$ · 15 =  - $\frac{1×15}{3}$

- $\frac{15}{3}$

Now we simplify our answer to get our final answer.
