4x+3=5+x
my answer is x=2, is this correct?
check it:
4*2 + 3 = 5 + 2 ????
11 = 7 I think not
oh ok, thanks. I will redo my answer and work.
To solve the equation 4x + 3 = 5 + x, you need to isolate the variable x.
First, let's simplify the equation by combining like terms.
On the left side of the equation, you have 4x and on the right side, you have x. To eliminate the x term on the right side, you can subtract x from both sides of the equation:
4x + 3 - x = 5 + x - x
Simplifying further, you get:
3x + 3 = 5
Next, you want to isolate the variable x. To eliminate the constant term (3) on the left side, you can subtract 3 from both sides of the equation:
3x + 3 - 3 = 5 - 3
This simplifies to:
3x = 2
To solve for x, divide both sides of the equation by 3:
(3x) / 3 = 2 / 3
This yields:
x = 2/3
Therefore, the correct answer is x = 2/3, not x = 2.
