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

Let's solve the equation step by step:

Given the equation: \[\frac{1}{4}(x+3)=5\]

Step 1:

Multiply both sides by 4 to eliminate the fraction: \[ 4 \cdot \frac{1}{4}(x+3) = 4 \cdot 5 \] So, we have: \[ (x+3) = 20 \]

Step 2:

Now, we rewrite this: \[ x + 3 = 20 \]

Step 3:

Subtract 3 from both sides: \[ x + 3 - 3 = 20 - 3 \]

Step 4:

So, we have: \[ x = 17 \]

Putting it all together, here’s the filled out format:

Step 1: \(4\) \(\frac{1}{4}(x+3)=5\) \( ( \text{multiply both sides by } 4 ) \)

Step 2: \(x+3=20\)

Step 3: Subtract \(3\) from both sides.

Step 4: \(x=17\)
