Question

Solve for x: 1/4 (4x + 15) = 24

Answer 1

So we have the equation:

`(1)/(4) (4x+15)=24`

So we first must multiply both sides by 4 in order to get rid of the
`(1)/(4)` on the left side:

`(4x+15)=96`

Then we need to subtract 15 on both sides in order to get the x term by itself on the left side:

`4x=81`

And then to completely solve for x, we need to divide both sides by 4:

`x=20.25`
