Fill in the spaces to solve each step of the problem 1/4 (x + 3) = 5

Step one: (__) 1/4 (x + 3) = 5(__)

Step two: x + 3 = [__]

Step three: subtract [__] from both sides

Step four: x = [__]

1 answer

Step one: (Multiply both sides by 4) 4 * 1/4 (x + 3) = 4 * 5

Step two: x + 3 = 20

Step three: subtract 3 from both sides

Step four: x = 17
