STEP 3

Now, we can calculate the right side of the equation.
$x =5 \times3 =15$

STEP 4

To find the value of x, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation. We can do this by dividing both sides of the equation by4.
$x = \frac{15}{4}$

STEP 5

Calculate the value of x.
$x = \frac{15}{4} =3.75$ The unknown number is3.75.
