5 sheets of construction paper for a title banner plus the number of ads multiplied by one quarter of sheet must be equal to 23 sheets of construction paper

The linear equation that represent this problem is

$\frac{1}{4}x+5=23$

Solve for x

Multiply by 4 both sides to remove the fraction

$x+20=92$

Subtract 20 both sides

$x=92-20$

$x=72\ ads$
