Question

Is 4x-3=19?
true
false
open

Answer 1

one moment...

Answer 2

false......
4x-3 = 19 , add 3 to 19 and it is 22, 4x does not divide into 22 well

Answer 3

x = 11/2 is true.

x ≠ 11/2 is false.

Answer 4

Add three to both sides to isolate the variable
4x -3 = 19
+3 + 3
-----------------
4x -0 = 22
OR
4x = 22
Now, divide both sides by the number glued to the variable, which is 4
4x = 22
--- ---
4 4
___________
1x = 5.5
OR
x = 5.5

NOW that you know what "X" is, you can plug is back in to get a "balance statement"
4x -3 = 19
is now
4(5.5) -3 = 19
solve like normal
(4 * 5.5) = 22 ... -3 = 19
SO the new problem looks like this
(22 - 3) = 19
Then continue
(22-3) = what? 19 ....=19

SO THEN is this statement true?
19 = 19?
Does 19 equal 19? Yes. True.
