4x - 1 = 23
Since there is the subtraction you have to do the opposite which is addition so iyou have to add by 1 on both sides.
4x - 1 = 23
4x + 1 = + 1
4x _________ = _________
4x = 24
You have to divde by 4 both sides.
4x = 24
____________ ___________
4 4
x divide it by 4 is cancelled and 24 divided by 4 equals 6.
Therefore, x=6.
