Let's fill in the blanks step by step to solve the equation \( \frac{1}{4}(x+3)=5 \).
Step 1: (Multiply) \( \frac{1}{4}(x+3)=5 \) (Multiply both sides by 4)
Step 2: \( x+3= 20 \)
Step 3: Subtract \( 3 \) from both sides.
Step 4: \( x= 17 \)
So, the complete steps are:
- (Multiply) \( \frac{1}{4}(x+3)=5 \) (Multiply both sides by 4).
- \( x+3= 20 \).
- Subtract \( 3 \) from both sides.
- \( x= 17 \).
