Answer 2

Let's go through each step to solve the problem \( 1.4 ( x + 3 ) = 5 \).

**Step 1:** (Multiply) \( 1.4 ( x + 3 ) = 5 \) (This is just rewriting the equation.)

**Step 2:** \( x + 3 = \frac{5}{1.4} \)

**Step 3:** Subtract 3 from both sides

**Step 4:** \( x = \frac{5}{1.4} - 3 \)

Now let's proceed to simplify and calculate the final value for \( x \):

1. Calculate \( \frac{5}{1.4} \):
\[
\frac{5}{1.4} = \frac{5 \times 10}{1.4 \times 10} = \frac{50}{14} \approx 3.5714
\]

2. Subtract 3:
\[
x = 3.5714 - 3 = 0.5714
\]

So the final answer is:
\[
x \approx 0.5714
\]

Answer 3

Apologies for the misunderstanding! Let's fill in the spaces with only symbols or numbers for each step.

1.4 ( x + 3 ) = 5

**Step 1:** \( (1.4) \quad 1.4 ( x + 3 ) = 5 \quad (5) \)

**Step 2:** \( x + 3 = \frac{5}{1.4} \)

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

**Step 4:** \( x = \frac{5}{1.4} - 3 \)
