40x-15=3-2\left(4x-3\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 5 by 8x-3.
40x-15=3-8x+6
Use the distributive property to multiply -2 by 4x-3.
40x-15=9-8x
Add 3 and 6 to get 9.
40x-15+8x=9
Add 8x to both sides.
48x-15=9
Combine 40x and 8x to get 48x.
48x=9+15
Add 15 to both sides.
48x=24
Add 9 and 15 to get 24.
x=\frac{24}{48}
Divide both sides by 48.
x=\frac{1}{2}
Reduce the fraction \frac{24}{48} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 24.
