Fill in the spaces to solve each step of the problem 1/4(x+3)=5 .
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 remove the fraction: 4(1/4(x+3)) = 4(5)
step 2: x + 3 = 20
step 3: subtract 3 from both sides: (x + 3) - 3 = 20 - 3
step 4: x = 17
