Solve the following linear equation

Question

4x+5=18

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( 4x + 5 = 18 \), follow these steps:

1. Subtract 5 from both sides to isolate the term with \( x \): \[ 4x + 5 - 5 = 18 - 5 \] This simplifies to: \[ 4x = 13 \]

2. Divide both sides by 4 to solve for \( x \): \[ x = \frac{13}{4} \]

Thus, the solution to the equation is: \[ x = \frac{13}{4} \text{ or } 3.25 \]
