Question

use the algebra tiles to help you solve the equation $4x - 3 = 5$.
the solution is $square$.
(type the value of x.)

Explanation:

Step1: Isolate the x-term

Add 3 to both sides:
$$4x - 3 + 3 = 5 + 3$$
$$4x = 8$$

Step2: Solve for x

Divide by 4 on both sides:
$$\frac{4x}{4} = \frac{8}{4}$$
$$x = 2$$

Answer:

2
