Question

Match these equation balancing steps with the description of what was done in each step.Step 1:12x - 6 = 10 6x - 3 = 5 -Add 3 to both sides -Divide both sides by 6 -Divide both sides by 2 Step 2: 6x - 3 = 5 6x = 8 -Add 3 to both sides -Divide both sides by 6 -Divide both sides by 2 Step 36x = 8 x= 4/3 -Add 3 to both sides -Divide both sides by 6 -Divide both sides by 2

Answer 1

Step 1:

6x - 3 = 5

`\begin{gathered} \text{add 3 to both sides} \\ 6x-3+3=5+3 \\ 6x=8 \end{gathered}`

step 2:

6x = 8

`\begin{gathered} \text{Divide both sides by 6} \\ (6x)/(6)=(8)/(6) \\ x=(4)/(3) \end{gathered}`

Step 3:

x = 4/3

`\begin{gathered} \text{divide both sides by 2} \\ x=(8)/(6)=(4)/(3) \end{gathered}`
