Question

In order to isolate the variable term in the equation 6 - 2x = -3 using the subtraction property of equality, which number

should be subtracted from both sides of the equation?
-3
0-2
3
06

Answer 1

6

Explanation:

When you subtract 6 from both sides, the 6 on the left side will be removed and the equation will look like this: -2x= -9. If you want to solve for x, then all you have to do is divide by -2 on both sides. So x will equal 9/2.
