Question

Match the properties with the steps to solving the following equation. 1/2(8x-6) = x+9

Answer 1

Explanation:

Given equation is,

`(1)/(2)(8x-6)=x+9`

By distribution property,

4x - 3 = x + 9

By subtraction property of Equality,

4x - x - 3 = 9

3x - 3 = 9

By Addition property of equality,

3x = 3 + 9

3x = 12

By division property of equality,

`(3x)/(3)=(12)/(3)`

x = 4
