Answer: x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Distribute 4 to x - 3: 4x - 12 + 5 = 1
2. Combine -12 and 5: 4x - 7 = 1
3. Add 7 on both sides: 4x = 8
4. Divide by 4 on both sides: x = 2
I hope this helps :)
Answer:
x = 2
4(x - 3) + 5 = 1
distribute the 4 to x and 3
4x - 12 + 5 = 1
add - 12 and 5
4x - 7 = 1 add 7 to both sides
4x = 8
divide both sides by 4
