Answer:

x= 7.

Explanation:

1. Write the expression.


√(4x-3)=5

2. Take the square root of both sides of the equation.


(√(4x-3))^(2) =5^(2) \\ \\4x-3=25

3. Sum 3 to both sides of the equation.


4x-3+3=25+3\\ \\4x=28

4. Divide by 4 on both sides of the equation.


(4x)/(4) =(28)/(4) \\ \\x=7

5. Express your result.

x= 7.
