Identify Goal: Identify the goal of the problem. We need to find the value of x that satisfies the equation 1 + x = 5.Isolate Variable: Isolate the variable x on one side of the equation. To do this, we subtract 1 from both sides of the equation to get x by itself. 1 + x - 1 = 5 - 1Perform Subtraction: Perform the subtraction on both sides. x = 5 - 1 x = 4Check Solution: Check the solution by substituting the value of x back into the original equation. 1 + 4 = 5 5 = 5 This confirms that x = 4 is the correct solution.
