Question

The steps in the solution of x - 5 = 2(4x - 3) are not in the correct order. Arrange the solution steps in order. = X-5 = 2 (4x - 3) = X-5 = 8x - 6 = X-X-5 = 8x -x-6 = -5 + 6 = 7x - 6 + 6 = -5 = 7x -6 = 1/7 = 7x/7 = 1/7 = x = 1 = 7x

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation

`x-5=2(4x-3)`

Step 1

Apply the distributive property to eliminate the parenthesis

`\begin{gathered} x-5=2(4x-3) \\ x-5=8x-6 \end{gathered}`

Step 2

subtract x in both sides

`\begin{gathered} x-5=8x-6 \\ x-5-x=8x-6-x \\ -5=7x-6 \end{gathered}`

Step 3

add 6 in both sides

`\begin{gathered} -5=7x-6 \\ -5+6=7x-6+6 \\ 1=7x \end{gathered}`

Step 4

divide each side by 9

`\begin{gathered} 1=7x \\ (1)/(7)=(7x)/(7) \\ (1)/(7)=x \end{gathered}`
