Answer 1

1. C , 2. A , 3. B !!!!

Answer 2

1. C 2. A 3. B

Explanation:

Step 1: 12x - 6 = 10 divided by 2 is 6x - 3 = 5

Step 2: When you add three to the left side of the equation the negative 3and positive 3 cancel out and when you add three to the right side of the equation 5 + 3 = 8

Step 3: multiplying both sides by 1/6. 1/6 is the reciprocal of 6 so they cancel out. 1/6 times 8 is 8/6 which condenses to 4/3 in simple terms.
