Inverse operations ____________ each other.
In Solving for y, 15y - 7 - 13y = 17, first you would:
Solve for x: 7x - 3x - 8 = 24
Solve for x: 8x - 3x - 10 = 20
In solving for x, 5x + 3(x + 4) = 28, First you would you:
Solve for x: 2(x - 1) + 3x = 3
Solve for x: 4(x - 3) = 20
Solve for x: -7(x + 8) = -14
In the following equation, -(2n - 8) = -2, the first step would be to:
Find the mistake in solving the following equation: 6x - 2(x - 5) = 46.
Identify the mistake and how to correct it in order to solve the equation.
1) Multiply everything inside of the brackets by -2 using the Distributive Property
2) Combine like terms: 6x + -2x = 4x
3) Add 10 to both sides of the equation.
4) Divide both sides of the equation by 4.
