Question

what is X? 4X+5-2=5+18-4

Answer 1

x is equal to 4 because when you simplify the right side of the equal sign you will get 19. Then when you simplify the left side of the equal sign you will get 4x+3. Next you would want to subtract 3 from both sides giving you 4x=16, which you would then divide by 4 on both sides giving you an answer of x=4

Answer 2

 4x + 5 - 2 = 5 + 18 - 4
=> 4x + 3 = 23 - 4 
=> 4x + 3 = 19 
=> 4x = 19 - 3
=> 4x = 16 
=> x = 16 / 4
=> x = 4
