The matching is as follows:

−6x+7x+14=3 ----> Given

(-6x+ 7x)=3 -14 -------> combine like terms

x = -11 ----------> subtraction property of equality

First, we need to know that;

An equation is simply described as a mathematical statement that is made up of two expressions connected by an equal sign.

Given:

−6x+7x+14=3

Now, to solve the equation following steps are to be taken

−6x+7x+14=3 ----> Given

(-6x+ 7x)=3 -14 -------> combine like terms

x = -11 ----------> subtraction property of equality

The complete question:

What is the reason for each step in the solution of the equation? −6x+7x+14=3

Drag and drop the reasons into the boxes to correctly complete the table.

distributive property

given
