Question

4х + 5 = 165
What is the solution to the given equation?

Answer 1

To find the solution, we need to isolate the variable x.

We start by subtracting 5 from both sides of the equation:

4x + 5 - 5 = 165 - 5

This simplifies to 4x = 160.

Next, we divide both sides of the equation by 4 to solve for x:

4x/4 = 160/4

This simplifies to x = 40.

Therefore, the solution to the given equation is x = 40.
