Question

Using the options bellow put the steps for the two Step equation bellow

:4x - 3 =13:

A x = 4

B 4x - 3/4 = 13/4

C 4x - 3 + 3 = 13 + 3

D 4x = 16

E 4*/ 4 = 16/4

Using the options above solve the 2 step equation

Step 1
Step 2
Step 3
Step 4

Answer 1

To solve the equation \(4x - 3 = 13\) using the provided steps, we can follow these steps in order:

1. **Step 1:** Add 3 to both sides of the equation to isolate the term with \(x\). This corresponds to **Step C**:
\[
4x - 3 + 3 = 13 + 3 \quad \Rightarrow \quad 4x = 16
\]

2. **Step 2:** Now we have \(4x = 16\), and we want to solve for \(x\). This corresponds to **Step D** where we write out the equation:
\[
4x = 16
\]

3. **Step 3:** Divide both sides by 4 to solve for \(x\). This corresponds to **Step E**:
\[
\frac{4x}{4} = \frac{16}{4} \quad \Rightarrow \quad x = 4
\]

4. **Step 4:** Finally, confirm that \(x\) equals 4, which corresponds to **Step A**:
\[
x = 4
\]

Putting it all together, the order of steps is:

**Step 1:** C
**Step 2:** D
**Step 3:** E
**Step 4:** A

So the complete solution flow is:
1. C: \(4x - 3 + 3 = 13 + 3\)
2. D: \(4x = 16\)
3. E: \(\frac{4x}{4} = \frac{16}{4}\)
4. A: \(x = 4\)
