-4=\left(4-3\right)\left(3x-4-5\right)
The opposite of -4 is 4.
-4=1\left(3x-4-5\right)
Subtract 3 from 4 to get 1.
-4=1\left(3x-9\right)
Subtract 5 from -4 to get -9.
-4=3x-9
Use the distributive property to multiply 1 by 3x-9.
3x-9=-4
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
3x=-4+9
Add 9 to both sides.
3x=5
Add -4 and 9 to get 5.
x=\frac{5}{3}
Divide both sides by 3.
