Question 1090983

You have the correct answer. As a way to check the answer, you can plug in the value of x and simplify both sides


4x+38=2.5x+45.5
4*(<font color=red>x</font>)+38=2.5*(<font color=red>x</font>)+45.5
4*(<font color=red>5</font>)+38=2.5*(<font color=red>5</font>)+45.5 <font color=blue>replace every x with 5</font>
20+38=12.5+45.5
58=58


Because we get the same result on both sides, this confirms the answer.
