The solution

You have entered [src]
5 - x = 4*(x - 3)
$$5 - x = 4 \left(x - 3\right)$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
5-x = 4*(x-3)

Expand brackets in the right part
5-x = 4*x-4*3

Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- x = 4 x - 17$$
Move the summands with the unknown x
from the right part to the left part:
$$\left(-5\right) x = -17$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -5
x = -17 / (-5)

We get the answer: x = 17/5
