Question

Carina begins to solve the equation Negative 4 minus two-thirds x equals negative 6 by adding 4 to both sides. Which statements regarding the rest of the solving process could be true?

Answer 1

1,3,4

Explanation:

got a 100 on the test.

Answer 2

x= 3/2

Explanation:

Given

-4 - 2/3x=-6

Carina adds 4 to both sides (Step 1) given

4-4 -2/3x= -6 + 4

Solving

-2/3x= -2

This could be the next step.

Now adding 2 to both sides again (Step 2)

2- 2/3x= -2 +2

Taking LCM (Step 3)

2x-3/x=0

Multiplying x on both sides (Step 4)

2x-3= 0

Adding 3 to both sides (Step 5)

2x-3 + 3= 0+3

2x= 3

Dividing both sides by 2 (Step 6)

2x/2= 3/2

Solving

x= 3/2= 1 1/2 or = 1.5
