Solve for x:
[tex]5(3x+1)=x-4[/tex]
To solve for x, we are going to use inverse operations to solve equatons.
Addition and subtraction are inverse operations, multiplication and division are inverse operations too.
Then,
[tex]\begin{gathered} As\text{ a first step, using distributive property:} \\ 15x+5=x-4 \\ 15x-x=-4-5 \\ 14x=-9 \\ x=-\frac{9}{14} \end{gathered}[/tex]
Therefore, the correct answer would be A.
