Answer:
x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
4x−
5
5
=3
4x+−1=3
4x−1=3
Step 2: Add 1 to both sides.
4x−1+1=3+1
4x=4
Step 3: Divide both sides by 4.
4x
4
=
4
4
x=1
I’d say option 4
However, one may think option 3 might be possible as well. But that it is not interacting, it’s affecting.
So I’d stick with option 4.
Good luck!
Subtract 1:
x/4=2
multiply by 4:
x=8 which is the answer
