Question #N849
What is the solution to the equation $4x + 3 = 19$?
A. -4
B. 4
C. 12
D. 16
Correct Answer is: B
To solve for $x$, we first subtract 3 from both sides of the equation: $4x + 3 - 3 = 19 - 3$, or $4x = 16$. Then we divide both sides of the equation by 4: $\frac{4x}{4} = \frac{16}{4}$, or $x = 4$.
