Answer:
Explanation:
-2(x-3)=-6(x+4) [Original Equation]
-2x+6=-6x-24 [remove the parentheses]
? -2x+6x+6 =-24 [add 6x to both sides]
4x + 6 = -24 [combine like terms]
-2x+6x+6=-6x-24+6x [Add 6x to both sides]
4x+6x+6=-6x-24+6x
-2x+6x+6=-24 [Add 6x and subtract 6 from both sides]
4x + 6 = -24 [This step is justified by the additive property of equality.]
x=-7.5
Which set of statements shows the equation that is
most likely the missing step and the property that
justifies the missing step?
4x-6=24
This step is justified by the additive property of equality
4x-6=24
This step is justified by the multiplicative property of equality
4x+6=-24
This step is justified by the multiplicative property of equality.
The correct answer is:
4x+6=-24
This step is justified by the additive property of equality.
