Question

Order these equations to match the steps used to solve the equation

Step 1: Distributive property. Step 2: Addition property of equality
Step 3: Division property of equality
2(5x - 3) = 8. x = 7/5
10x - 6 = 8
10x = 14

Answer 1

10x-6=8 10x=14 x=7/5

Explanation:

got it right on edge

Answer 2

x = 7/5

Explanation:

2(5x - 3) = 8

Step 1: Distributive property

10x - 6 = 8

Step 2: Addition property of equality

Add 6 to both sides of the equation

10x - 6 + 6 = 8 + 6

10x = 14

Step 3: Division property of equality

Divide both sides by 10

10x/10 = 14/10

x = 7/5
