5x+4=15\times 3x\times 5
Multiply both sides of the equation by 15, the least common multiple of 3,15.
5x+4=45x\times 5
Multiply 15 and 3 to get 45.
5x+4=225x
Multiply 45 and 5 to get 225.
5x+4-225x=0
Subtract 225x from both sides.
-220x+4=0
Combine 5x and -225x to get -220x.
-220x=-4
Subtract 4 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=\frac{-4}{-220}
Divide both sides by -220.
x=\frac{1}{55}
Reduce the fraction \frac{-4}{-220} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out -4.
