Question #44e18 Algebra Linear Equations Two-Step Equations and Properties of Equality 1 Answer Harry R. ยท 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?
