Question

Match the order of the step to the steps to solve this equation.

Answer 1

let the following equation:

`(2x)/(3)-6\text{ = 2}`

To solve the equation, follow the next steps:

1. MULTIPLY BOTH SIDES BY 3 :

`3((2x)/(3)-6)\text{ = 3X2}`

this is equivalent to say:

`2x-18\text{ = }6`

2. DIVIDE BOTH SIDES BY 2 :

`(2x-18\text{ ) }(1)/(2)\text{= }(6)/(2)`

this is equivalent to say:

`x-6\text{= }3`

3. ADD 6 TO BOTH SIDES:

`x-6+6\text{= }3+6`

this is equivalent to say:

`x\text{= }3+6\text{ = 9}`
