Question

What the solutions to the open sentence 4x = 56?

1.) 224
2.) 14
3.) 52
4.) 60

Answer 1

To get rid of the 4 to get x by itself, do the opposite of multiplying since 4x is 4*x which is dividing. Divide by 4 on both sides
4x/4=56/4
56/4=14
4x/4=x
x=14
The answer is 2.) 14.

Answer 2

4x=56

Divide both sides by 4
x= 14

Final answer: 14
