Answer:

x=1

Explanation:

our goal is to isolate the variable (x) by itself on one side; the other side will be a numeric value.

the equation: x+5=4x+2

first, subtract x from both sides to put the x value on one side

5=3x+2

now, subtract 2 from both sides to put the number value on one side

3=3x

now divide by 3 on both sides to get x by itself

1=x

hope this helps!
