Answer:
8x - 6 = x + 9 : Given
7x - 6 = 9 :Subtraction property of equality
7x = 15 : Addition property of equality
x = 15/7 : Division property of equality
x = 2.143
Explanation:
Match the properties with the steps to solving the following equation.
(8x - 6) = x + 9
8x - 6 = x + 9 : Given
8x - x - 6 = x + 9 - x
7x - 6 = 9 :Subtraction property of equality
7x - 6 + 6 = 9 + 6
7x = 15 : Addition property of equality
7x/ 7 = 15/7
x = 15/7 : Division property of equality
x = 2.143
