Question 623532
{{{20+5x-4=x+37}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{5x+16=x+37}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{5x=x+37-16}}} Subtract {{{16}}} from both sides.



{{{5x-x=37-16}}} Subtract {{{x}}} from both sides.



{{{4x=37-16}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{4x=21}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(21)/(4)}}} Divide both sides by {{{4}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.

Answer:


So the solution is {{{x=21/4}}}
