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

Question

.(2 points)
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 \( \frac{1}{4}(x + 3) = 5 \) step by step and fill in the blanks.

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

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

Step 3: Subtract 3 from both sides.

Step 4: \( x = 17 \).

So, the filled spaces would be:

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

Answer 2

in step 1, put a number instead of saying (multiply both sides by 4).

Answer 3

Certainly! Here is the completed problem with a specific number in Step 1:

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

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

Step 3: Subtract 3 from both sides.

Step 4: \( x = 17 \).

The filled spaces now clearly show the multiplication by 4 in Step 1.
