@Erikshen can you explain please step by step

Answer 3

first step, distribution property of multiplication

\[a( x+ y) = ax +ay\]

2nd step

actually 2 steps combined

subtracted 36 from both sides to remove the 36 from the left side
subtracted 5 from both sides to remove the 5 from the left side

3rd step

combined like terms

4th step
isolated x- solved for x

divided both sides by 4
because 4/4 =1

thus by dividing 4 to both sides, you cancel out the 4 on the left side
