x+3=0.95\left(x+4\right)
Variable x cannot be equal to -4 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x+4.
x+3=0.95x+3.8
Use the distributive property to multiply 0.95 by x+4.
x+3-0.95x=3.8
Subtract 0.95x from both sides.
0.05x+3=3.8
Combine x and -0.95x to get 0.05x.
0.05x=3.8-3
Subtract 3 from both sides.
0.05x=0.8
Subtract 3 from 3.8 to get 0.8.
x=\frac{0.8}{0.05}
Divide both sides by 0.05.
x=\frac{80}{5}
Expand \frac{0.8}{0.05} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 100.
x=16
Divide 80 by 5 to get 16.
