To solve the equation \(5(4x - 3) = 105\), we need to first distribute the 5 across the terms inside the parentheses. Then, we will isolate the variable \(x\) by performing algebraic operations such as addition or subtraction and division.
Step 1: Distribute the 5
We start with the equation:
\[
5(4x - 3) = 105
\]
Distributing the 5 gives:
\[
20x - 15 = 105
\]
Step 2: Isolate the Variable
Next, we isolate \(x\) by adding 15 to both sides:
\[
20x = 105 + 15
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
20x = 120
\]
Step 3: Solve for \(x\)
Now, we divide both sides by 20:
\[
x = \frac{120}{20}
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
x = 6
\]
