Question

Solve for \( x \) in the equation \( \frac{2x - 3}{4} = 5 \).

• A. \( x = 13 \)
• B. \( x = 14 \)
• C. \( x = 15 \)
• D. \( x = 16 \)

Hint:

Remember: To solve equations with fractions, multiply both sides by the denominator to eliminate the fraction.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Remove the fraction
Starting equation:\[\frac{2x - 3}{4} = 5\]Multiply both sides by 4 to clear the denominator:\[2x - 3 = 20\]Step 2: Isolate \( x \)
Add 3 to both sides:\[2x = 23\]Divide both sides by 2:\[x = \frac{23}{2} = 13\]Solution: The equation is solved for \( x = 13 \). The correct choice is (1).
