Fill in the spaces to solve each step of the problem 14(x+3)=5 .(2 points) Step 1: ()14(x+3)=5(). Step 2: x+3= . Step 3: Subtract from both sides. Step 4: x=
Step 1: Distribute the 14 to the terms inside the parentheses.
14x + 42 = 5
Step 2: Remove the parentheses since there are no more operations inside them.
x + 3 = 5
Step 3: Subtract 3 from both sides to isolate the variable x.
x = 5 - 3
Step 4: Simplify the right side.
x = 2
