Question 68425
what is the value of x? 4x+20=36

!. To solve for x, we mmust eliminate 20. Add the additive inverse of 20 both sides.
4x + 20 + (-20) = 36 + (-20)
<br>
2. Multiply the multiplicative inverse of 4 both sides so that x will be left.
{{{4x (1/4) = 16 (1/4)}}}
<br>
{{{highlight (x = 4)}}}
