Question

Misha solves the equation 3 x minus 2 (x + 3) = 4 (x minus 2) minus 7 by applying the distributive property to each side of the equation. The result is 3 x minus 2 x minus 6 = 4 x minus 8 minus 7. Misha then wants to combine like terms. Which are the terms Misha should combine? 3x – 2x and –8 – 7 3x – 2x and 8 – 7 3x – 2x + 4x and –6 – 8 – 7 3x – 2x – 6 and 4x – 8 – 7

Answer 1

Explanation:

The given equation is : 3x-2(x+3)=4(x-2)-73x−2(x+3)=4(x−2)−7

On solving this equation and applying the distributive property, we have

⇒3x-2x-6=4x-8-73x−2x−6=4x−8−7

⇒x-6=4x-15x−6=4x−15

Combining the like terms like terms consisting of x are solved together and the constants are solved together,

⇒x-4x=-15+6x−4x=−15+6

⇒-3x=-9−3x=−9

⇒x=3x=3
