Answer 2

5(x+4)-4x=18-23

Answer 3

x=21

Answer 4

Simplifying
5(x + 4) + -4x = 18 + 23

Reorder the terms:
5(4 + x) + -4x = 18 + 23
(4 * 5 + x * 5) + -4x = 18 + 23
(20 + 5x) + -4x = 18 + 23

Combine like terms: 5x + -4x = 1x
20 + 1x = 18 + 23

Combine like terms: 18 + 23 = 41
20 + 1x = 41

Solving
20 + 1x = 41

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-20' to each side of the equation.
20 + -20 + 1x = 41 + -20

Combine like terms: 20 + -20 = 0
0 + 1x = 41 + -20
1x = 41 + -20

Combine like terms: 41 + -20 = 21
1x = 21

Divide each side by '1'.
x = 21

Simplifying
x = 21
