Question #44e18 Algebra Linear Equations Two-Step Equations and Properties of Equality 1 Answer Harry R. · Stefan V. Oct 18, 2017 #4x-5=15#, solving for #x=5#. Explanation: We need to isolate the variable #x#. By doing this, we can add #(+5)# on both sides. #4x-5+5=15+5# #4x=20# Then, we divide both sides by #4# (the coefficient of #x# in order to isolate #x#) #(4x)/4=20/4# #x=5# Thus #x=5# Answer link Related questions How do you solve two step equations?
