Question 14053: Could you please help solve the following...
L+1
_____ = 4
8
Should I begin by making it L/8 + 1/8 = 4?

You could do it that way but it would be easier this way because you won't have to deal with fractions.
We have, =4.
multiply by 8 on both sides to get,
L+1=32.
now subtract 1 from both sides.
L+1-1=32-1
L=31.
Hope this helps.
