Question

Three more than four times a number x is twenty-three

Answer 1

23 - 3 = 20

20 / 4 = 5

Answer 2

Answer:

X=5

Step-by-step explanation:

Three more than four times a number x is twenty-three would be 4x+3=23 when written as an equation. Now we solve for x.

4x+3=23 Rewrite equation

4x+3-3=23-3 Subtract 3 from both sides

4x=20 Simplify

4x/4=20/4 Divide both sides by 4

x=5 Simplify
