Solving Linear Equations Steps

Carito solves the equation 4 * x + 3 = 16 by first dividing both sides by four, resulting in x + 3 = 4. Then, Carito subtracts three from both sides to find x = 1. The sequence of steps is validated as correct, demonstrating a clear method for solving linear equations.

What is the first step Carito plans to take in solving the equation?

• Divide both sides by four

• Multiply both sides by four

• Subtract three from both sides

• Add three to both sides

After dividing both sides by four, what does the equation become?

• x = 4 + 3

• x + 3 = 4

• 4x + 3 = 16

• x = 16 / 4

What operation does Carito perform after dividing by four?

• Subtract three from both sides

• Multiply both sides by four

• Add three to both sides

• Divide both sides by three

What is the final value of x after solving the equation?

• x = 0

• x = 1

• x = 3

• x = 4

Is Carito's sequence of steps a valid method to solve the equation?

• Only the second step is correct

• No, it is incorrect

• Yes, it is correct

• Only the first step is correct
