Question

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT! PLEASE HELP ME!!!

An equation is shown below: 8x + 2(x – 7) = 7x + 3x – 14
Part A: Solve the equation and write the number of solutions. Show all the steps. (6 points)
Part B: Name one property you used to solve this equation. (4 points)

Answer 1

Equation at the end of step 1 : (8x + 2 • (x - 7)) - (10x - 14) = 0 Step 2 :Pulling out like terms : 2.1 Pull out 10x-14

After pulling out, we are left with :
(10x-14) • ( 1 +( (-1) ))Step 3 :Pulling out like terms : 3.1 Pull out like factors :

10x - 14 = 2 • (5x - 7)
Equation at the end of step 3 : 0 = 0
