Question

How do you solve `4x + 5= x + 14`?

Answer 1

By performing a series of identical simple arithmetic operations on both sides of the given equation, we can solve it as `x=3`

Explanation:

`4x+5=x+14`

Subtract `x` from both sides
`3x+5=14`

Subtract `5` from both sides
`3x=9`

Divide both sides by `3`
`x=3`
