fill in the spaces to solve each step of the problem 1/4(x+3)=5.
step 1: (BLANK)1/4(x+3)=5(BLANK). step 2: x+3=(BLANK). step 3: subtract (BLANK) from both sides. step 4: x=(BLANK)
Step 1: Multiply both sides by 4 to eliminate the fraction.
4 * 1/4(x+3) = 4 * 5
x + 3 = 20
Step 2: Subtract 3 from both sides.
x + 3 - 3 = 20 - 3
x = 17
