Question

an equation is shown below: 4(2x − 3) = 1 which of the following correctly shows the steps to solve this equation? step 1: 6x − 7 = 1; step 2: 6x = 8 step 1: 6x 1 = 1; step 2: 6x = 0 step 1: 8x − 12 = 1; step 2: 8x = 13 step 1: 8x − 3 = 1; step 2: 8x = 4

Answer 1

Your answer is C

step 1: 8x − 12 = 1; step 2: 8x = 13.

Explanation:

Answer 2

If you would like to solve the equation, you can do this using the following steps:

4 * (2x - 3) = 1
4 * 2x - 4 * 3 = 1
8x - 12 = 1
8x = 1 + 12
8x = 13 /8
x = 13/8

The correct result would be step 1: 8x − 12 = 1; step 2: 8x = 13.
