Question

3+4(x+5)=31 show steps

Answer 1

Hello, there!


4 * x = 4x

4 * 5 = 20

Now, we have 3 + 4x + 20 = 31

Now, let's combine like terms.

3 and 20 are like terms.

3 + 20 = 23

Now, we have 4x + 23 = 31

Now, let's isolate the x.

4x + 23 = 31
       -23    -23

4x = 8

FInally, we will simplify this.

4x = 8
---   ----
 4     4

x = 2

Our final answer is x = 2


I hope I helped!
