5=4x+3
Get the x by itself
Subtract 3 from both sides
5-3=4x+3-3
2=4x
Divide both sides by 4.
2/4=4x/4
1/2=x

you solve to make each side equal
take
5 = 4x+3
then MINUS 3 from each side
which would be
2 = 4x
then DIVIDE each side by 4
which would make it a fraction
2/4 = x
then just simplify the fraction
1/2 = x
Remember to show your work on your homework! if you're still having trouble with this
let your teacher know so they can help
explain it better. Good luck!!!

It's pretty simple but if you're having trouble with math I'm sorry for saying that.
first subtract 3 from both sides
you get this
2 = 4x
now divide both sides by 4
you get this
2/4 = x
that simplifies into
1/2 = x
now turn the equation around
x = 1/2
get it
Good luck

subtract 3 from both sides
2=4x
divide both sides by 4
.5 = x or 1/2 = x
