If 8x + 5x + 2x + 4x = 114, the 5x + 3 =

I will be happy to critique your thinking.

If 8x + 5x + 2x + 4x = 114, the 5x + 3 =

To solve the equation 8x + 5x + 2x + 4x = 114, we need to combine like terms on the left side of the equation and simplify.

Combining the x terms, we have:

8x + 5x + 2x + 4x = 114
(8 + 5 + 2 + 4)x = 114
19x = 114

Now, to solve for x, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation. To do this, we divide both sides of the equation by 19:

19x / 19 = 114 / 19
x = 6

So, the solution to the equation is x = 6.

Now, let's solve the second equation 5x + 3 = ? using the value of x we found.

Substituting x = 6 into the equation, we get:

5(6) + 3 = ?
30 + 3 = ?
33 = ?

Therefore, the answer to 5x + 3 is 33.
