Answer:
- E ⇒ D ⇒ B ⇒ C ⇒ A
- or
- E ⇒ B ⇒ D ⇒ C ⇒ A
Explanation:
Given
- Equation 2x + 11 = 3x - 3 - 8x
Solution
- 2x + 11 = 3x - 3 - 8x
- 2x + 11 = -5x - 3
- 2x + 5x + 11 = -5x + 5x - 3
- 7x + 11 = - 3
- 7x + 11 - 11 = -3 - 11
- 7x = -14
- 7x/7 = -14/7
- x = -2
Correct order of the steps
- E. Combine like terms to rewrite the equation as 2x + 11 = -5x - 3
- D. Use the Addition Property of Equality to add 5x to both sides.
- B. Use the Subtraction Property of Equality to subtract 11 from both sides.
- C. Use the Division Property of Equality to divide both sides by 7.
- A. The solution is x = -2.
The order D, B is same as B, D
