Question

Drag a statement or reason to each box to complete this proof.

If −6(x−4)=42, then x=−3

Answer 1

Distributive property

Subtraction property of equality

Division property of equality

Explanation:

Given

-6(x-4)=42

-6*x+-4*-6=42-------------------distributive property

-6x+24-24=42-24-----------------subtraction property of equality

-6x=18

-6x/-6=18/-6--------------------------division property of equality

x= -3
