Answer:

x = 7/4

Explanation:

4x + 3 = 10

4x = 10 - 3

4x = 7

x = 7 ÷ 4

x = 7/4

hope that helps...

Hello there! I am EnjoyingLife, and I hope you find my answer helpful :)

The first step is to subtract 3 from both sides (remember the Golden Rule of Algebra: Whatever we do to one side, we do to the other)


\tt{4x+3-3=10-3}


\tt{4x=10-3}


\tt{4x=7}

Divide both sides by 4 in order to isolate x:


\tt{x=(7)/(4)

Hope it helps!

Have an amazing day!

Good luck!
