Question

What is the reason for each step in the solution of the equation? 19=5x−1 Drag and drop the reasons into the boxes to correctly complete the table.

Answer 1

Explanation:

19=5x−1, add 1 to both sides

19+1 = 5x -1+1 , solve addition

20 = 5x, divide both sides by 5

20/5 = 5x/5, solve divison

4 = x

Answer 2

Explanation:

19 = 5x - 1

Given 19 + 1 = 5x - 1 + 1 20 = 5x

Addition Property of Equality 20 : 5 = 5x : 5 4 = x

Division Property of Equality
