Question

Solve for x.

4x + 3 = 35

Answer 1

x = 8

Explanation:

To solve for x you need to isolate it

First, subtract 3 from both sides, so you end up with:

4x = 32

Then, divide both sides by 4 to isolate the x

x = 8

Answer 2

x = 8

Explanation:

4x + 3 = 35

subtract 3 from both sides

4x + 3 - 3 = 35 - 4

4x = 32

divide both sides by 4

4x / 4 = x

32/4 = 8

we're left with x = 8
