Fill in the spaces to solve each step of the problem 1/4(x+3)=5.(2 points)
Step 1: (?)1/4(x+3)=5(?).
Step 2: x+3=? .
Step 3: Subtract ? from both sides.
Step 4: x= ?
Step 1: Multiply both sides by 4 to get rid of the fraction.
4 * 1/4(x+3) = 4 * 5
Step 2: Simplify.
(x+3) = 20
Step 3: Subtract 3 from both sides.
(x+3) - 3 = 20 - 3
Step 4: Simplify.
x = 17
