Question

9. Which pair of steps can be used to completelysolve this equation?4x - 5 = 17

Answer 1

In order to solve the equation

First step Add 5 to both sides

4x-5+5=17+5

4x=22

Second step Divide both sides by 4

`\begin{gathered} (4x)/(4)=(22)/(4) \\ x=(22)/(4)=(11)/(2) \end{gathered}`

the correct answer is D.
