    The first thing you should do to solve this equation would be to distribute.

    After distributing it would look like this

    4x-12-5x-5=3

    Just gonna finish this for no reason

    -x-17=3

    +17 + 17

    -x = 20

    x = - 20

    4 (x - 3) - 5 (x + 1) = 3

    4x - 12 - 5x - 5 = 3

    -12 - 5 - 3 = 5x - 4x

    x = - 20
