Hey there!

First, subtract 3 from both sides:

5x+3=23

5x=20

Now, divide both sides by 5:

x=4 (Answer)

Hope everything is clear.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Answer:

x=4

Explanation:

Separate the term x from one side of the equation to solve the problem.

5x+3=23

First, subtract by 3 from both sides.


\sf{5x+3-3=23-3}

Solve.


\sf{23-3=20}

Write down the problem.

5x=20

Then, you divide by 5 from both sides.


\sf{(5x)/(5)=(20)/(5) }

Solve.

Divide.


\sf{20/5=4}

x=4

As a result, the correct answer is x=4.

I hope this helps you! Let me know if my answer is wrong or not.
