Question

What is the answer to 5x-1=x+15

Answer 1

`5x - 1 = x + 15`
subtract x to both sides

`4x - 1 = 15`
add 1 to both sides

`4x = 16`
divide 4 to both sides

`x = 4`

Answer 2

-- Add 1 to each side.

-- Then subtract 'x' from each side.

-- Finally, divide each side by 4, and the answer will jump out at you.
