Question

Solve the equation for x. For each step, indentify the property used to convert the equation.

18= 6(2x-8)
8+3b= -13

Answer 1

18=6(2x-8)
Divide both sides of the equation 6

3=2x-8

-2x=-8-3

-2x=-11

X=11/2


but it can be reduced x=5 1/2



8+3b=-12
-8

3b=-11
3. 3

B=-11/3


but it can be reduced b=-3 2/3
