Fill in the spaces to solve each step of the problem 1/4(x+3)=5.(2 points).

Question

Step 1: _1/4(x+3)=5_
Step 2: x+3=
Step 3: Subtract from both sides.
Step 4: x=

Answer 1

Let's solve the equation step by step.

Step 1: \(\frac{1}{4}(x+3) = 5\)

Step 2: Multiply both sides by 4 to eliminate the fraction: \[ x + 3 = 5 \times 4 = 20 \]

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

Step 4: Solve for \(x\): \[ x = 17 \]

So the filled steps would be:

• Step 1: \(\frac{1}{4}(x+3)=5\)
• Step 2: \(x + 3 = 20\)
• Step 3: Subtract 3 from both sides.
• Step 4: \(x = 17\)
