Fill in the spaces to solve each step of the problem 1.4 ( x + 3 ) = 5

Question

Step 1: ( _ ) 1.4 ( x + 3 ) = 5 ( _ )

Step 2: x + 3 = _

Step 3: Subtraact _ from both sides

Step 4: x = _

Answer 1

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