4
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Multiply 4 on both sides:
x + 2 = 5
____
4
x4 x4
----------------
4(x+2) = 4(5) [DONT FORGET TO SIMPLIFY]
4x + 8 = 20
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Subtract 8 from both sides:
4x + 8 = 20
-8 -8
---------------------
4x = 12
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Divide by 4
4x = 12
÷4 ÷4
--------------
x = 3
Yes! Let me help you!
Here is the original equation, lets solve this step-by-step
(x + 2)/4 = 5
Now, lets find out how.
We must apply the inverse operation.
4/2 is the reciprocal, so lets multiply that to both sides.
4/2 = 2
5*4 = 20
4x + 8 = 20
-8 -8 Subtract 8 from both sides. (Inverse operation)
4x = 12
4x/4 = 12/4 Divide 4 by both sides (Inverse)
x = 12/4
x = 3 Simplified
