Answer 1

Answer:13 friends at the party.

Explanation:

4x+3=55

Subtract 3 from both side

You will left with 52 then divide 52 by 4x you will get 13.

Answer 2

13 friends.

Explanation:

We have been given an equation
`4x+3=55`, where x represents number of friends at Jessie's party. We are supposed to find the number of Jessie's friends.

Let us solve for x.

`4x+3-3=55-3`

`4x=52`

Divide both sides by 4:

`(4x)/(4)=(52)/(4)`

`x=13`

Therefore, there were 13 friends at Jessie's birthday party.
