Question

Hi! Can you please explain/answer this for me? Thanks!

Answer 1

C

B

A

D

Explanation:

3(x + 2) + 1 = 8 (given)

3x + 6 + 1 = 8 (C: 3(x + 2) = 3x + 6)

3x + 7 = 8 (B: 6 + 1 = 7)

3x = 1 (A: 8 - 7 = 1)

x = 1/3 (D)

I hope I helped you.

Answer 2

I’m not entirely sure but I’m pretty sure that

3=C because 3 was multiplied with what was inside of the parenthesis
4=B because 6 and 1 are added and they’re like terms
5=A because 7 was subtracted from both sides of the equal sign
And 6=D because 6 was divided by both sides of the equal sign
